Human Sperm Created Using Stem Cells
« on: July 09, 2009, 11:03 AM »

British scientists claim they have made the first-ever synthetic human sperm.

The sperm was grown in a laboratory using embryonic stem cells and can swim, have tails and share other characteristics of real sperm. The research  could be a breakthrough treatment for male infertility, according to The Guardian (U.K.).

"This is an important development as it will allow researchers to study in detail how sperm forms and lead to a better understanding of infertility in men -- why it happens and what is causing it," said professor Karim Nayernia, who  spearheaded the research.

"This understanding could help us develop new ways to help couples suffering infertility so they can have a child which is genetically their own," he said.

Nayernia created mice sperm six years ago using similar methods and his team has grown immature human sperm from stem cells taken from bone marrow, The Times (U.K.) reported. The scientist said his findings would not lead to creating humans "in a dish" but were "a way of investigating why some people are infertile and the reasons behind it."
The findings also indicates that it is impossible to create sperm from female stem cells, meaning lesbian couples cannot have children without a male sperm donor, according to the paper.

Some scientist said the cells needed more testing to confirm their authenticity even though they shared many similar characteristics with real sperm.

There is still a lot of research going on and they need to know if the sperm can actually fertilise and egg and if it will produce a viable foetus.

Personally I don’t think it will work and even if it is proved to work, I don’t think ethics will allow this to move forward and the sperm will live and die in the lab

At last!! the beginning of the end. Brace yourself people, man has finally entered the realm of the gods. If man can create life and can recreate himself. What is the purposes of God. Very soon people will be born with barcode to identify what lab they spawned  from. This century might truly be the last where full complete humans walked the earth. Already we are seeing people with artificial hearts, kidney e.t.c very soon cloning and ultimately lab created humans.

my people, make una no hala. the said research has not been scientifically proved, meaning that the very dude who came up with this research only wants to be noticed, period. if i'm wrong, then let him prove me right by  experimenting his research with either his wife or his daughter for a scientifical prove, abi no so Huh Grin Grin Grin

then we expect another "Jurassic age"

all those x-men film coming to reality i guess.
then some group will stand up and say it is wrong to kill them even when they feed on fellow humans,
the same group who said Obama committed murder by killing a fly.
