Bad Luck for Men

 
Today is Friday the 13th and the bad news for men is a report that women may have discovered how to have babies without us [The prospect of all-female conception]. All the babies will be girls.

Fortunately, Steve Palter is on to it over at docinthemachine [Babies Without Men: Creating Sperm From A Woman’s Bone Marrow]. He's a fertility specialist and he reviews the science behind the story. As it turns out, pathenogenesis may not work. Imprinting may save us (temporarily) from a fate worse than death.

It all started when we let them vote. Our great-grandfathers knew it would come to this eventually.

I, for one, fully support this research, as long as equal funding is provided to longevity treatments for people who are already adults.

Why would I NOT want to live in a world of women?

So wouldn't the question then be, how long until we can identify and activate all those imprinted genes?
That could be done, right?
