Women who say they don't need a man may well be right – after human sperm was created in the lab.

The breakthrough could give hope to infertile couples and men left unable to have children after having cancer treatment.

So who will get stuck with the child support payments now?

I'm sure they do. I always wondered what they were hiding under those white coats.

Exactly.

Assuming such a thing is indeed possible, then human eggs and even wombs can and will be “grown.”

But then, that doesn’t quite fit the media template of marginalizing males, does it?

They use live embryos to clone this sperm. So kill one life to gain another. Hello, where is the Pope on this? I just hear crickets. He is too busy getting into politics now with his backing a "one world order."

Repulsive and inhumane. What a world? Where is our conscience?

I did not see this in the article.

"I did not see this in the article."

The article is on Drudge from the UK Telegraph. The experiment starts with using live embryos. They isolate the sperm and with a laser remove it. By removing the sperm from the embryo it destroys the life.

At some point we have to accept infertility. We can't destroy a life to create a life. Unethical and immoral, IMHO.
