Women Can Reproduce Without Men by Nobody: 9:10pm On Jun 29, 2017
Fertility specialists have found a way for women to have babies without men. It involves a cocktail of chemicals acting as an 'artificial sperm' to trick a human egg into forming an embryo. The stunning discovery has alarmed medical ethics campaigners, who described it as turning nature on its head. Researchers say the groundbreaking technology could be used to help women whose husbands are infertile but who do not want to use donor sperm. Any babies born from the process would be female and genetically identical to their mother. Taken to its extreme, it could lead to the science fiction nightmare of a female-dominated society where men have little or no role. The news also creates a legal minefield for UK authorities which govern fertility treatments, because British laws do not cover the creation of an embryo without sperm. The discovery was made by researchers from the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Genetics in Los Angeles. They were investigating new ways of genetically modifying embryos to grow into brain nerve cells, in order to give transplants to patients with Parkinson's Disease. Their experiments with mice triggered a form of asexual reproduction called parthenogenisis, which until now has happened only in creatures such as insects and frogs. In normal human reproduction, an egg carrying 23 pairs of chromosomes, the building blocks of life, is fertilised by a sperm, which also carries 23 sets. This crucial binding, creating 46 pairs of chromosomes, opens the way for cell division, the very beginning of human life. But researchers Dr Jerry Hall and Dr Yan-Ling Feng managed to make eggs duplicate their own chromosomes to create the number needed to start cell division. Several embryos were transferred to mouse 'foster mothers' where they developed successfully before being destroyed after 13 days. Though the process has yet to be tested on human eggs, studies have already shown that they behave in a similar way to those of mice. The findings are due to be unveiled today at the annual meeting of the respected American Society of Reproductive Medicine in Florida. They have been hailed as a new way of producing different kinds of cells for medical use. Dr Michael Soules, president of the ASRM, said: 'If this works with human eggs, there could be tremendous opportunities for clinical applications. I think everyone is going to find this work to be very exciting.' But Dr Jacqueline Laing, expert in medical ethics from London's Guild Hall University, said last night: 'This is alarming. Just because scientists can do something, it does not mean that they should. 'This process does not respect human life, in seeking either to procreate without the male or to use human eggs to turn them into some other part of the body for transplants. 'It doesn't respect reproduction and ordinary relations between men and women and the natural functions we have to protect human beings from arbitary creation. What are we expecting that any children born of this process will feel? If we go down this avenue, what else will be permissible?' Paul Tully, of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, said: 'Parthenogenisis is akin to cloning in a sense. It is the way lower orders of animals such as frogs and insects are able to reproduce. 'It is entirely unknown for this to happen in humans and this is a very disturbing discovery. Apart from the ethical concerns of what was happening to these embryos without their consent, it could mean that, theoretically, it would be possible to eradicate men.' He added: 'What we are seeing here is the technological imperative - they are doing it just because they can. Is society going to curb this or are we going to see even more outlandish discoveries? 'My fear is that, as with cloning, there will be horrific developmental abnormalities and accelerated ageing of these embryos. One dreads to think what they may suffer in the name of science.' The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, which governs IVF research in Britain, said a new law on parthenogenic embryos may be needed. A spokesman said: 'The view would probably be that no research could be carried out without permission and it certainly would not be licensed for clinical use unless it was proven safe and there were no ethical concerns.'

this sounds very impossible.
the article is saying that human cloning is now possibe. hmmm
asexual reproduction in humans? very unlikely

Interesting discovery. But this is against nature.

A lot of people doubted the possibility of a chick to lay egg without mating. Today its no news at all. Those 'agric chickens' dont mate and their eggs does hatch to bring to life other chicks via incubation. ITS NOT IMPOSSIBLE!!! Not at all. The major problem really is that we HUMANS are actually at war with nature which in reality the consequences of our not following our naturality has being of grevious consequences. NOTHING ARTIFICIAL CAN EVER BEAT THE NATURAL. All these are efforts towards throwing the marriage institution into the bin which by ourself do not make delibrate effort to making them work. MEN ARE MADE FOR WOMEN, WOMENN ARE MADE FOR MEN!

Why is it that mordern women want to discard men when they know from an evolutionary point of view they cannot survive without men, men just need women primarily for reproduction, sex and romance are needed to but not as important as passing on our genes with women, men built and continued to run and maintain civilization, virtually all the technologies, philosophies, ideologies, culture, religion were established by men, women might give the excuse that Patriachy held them down but look at the internet age which was after the success of Feminism where women have been giving educational, voting and workforce rights, these new technological age was still ushered by men, virtually all the social media, Amazon, eBay, were founded by men, these to show that women even with education they just memorize and copy what men built, rarely do they ever think independently outside what they have been conditioned by society whether the academia or mainstream media or religion, they rarely innovate or invent, they are not useful productively to the economy asides being wage slaves improving the interest of corporations, also they are the ones that have the highest consumerism of products, divorce is initiated mostly by women and yet they blame men because they lack accountability for anything even their own behaviors, studies show many factors leads to divorce, but women will magnify domestic violence and cheating as the main cause when statistically speaking it's far from the truth, rarely did divorce ever occur before Feminism during Patriachal era because fathers vetted husbands for their daughters and men valued their traditional gender roles, but with biased laws favoring women well-being by alimony( statistically majority received by women), child support and child custody even welfare program for single mothers, via liberalism, it has become the rule of the day, prioritizing their momentary feelings over the well-being of their children

What you just said here doesn't make sense. Biological a hen can lay eggs just like women do in their menstrual cycle but different as it comes about as blood. Those eggs layed by the hen have not because fertilized and as such cannot turn to young chicks. Incubation only occurs for fertilized eggs and not any random egg.

You lot overestimate your importance. This isn't the 1800s or Prehistoric times were women needed men for basic survival. Studies have literally shown that married men are happier, tend to live longer than their single counterpart. While for married women, they're usually unhappy and miserable with single women being the happiest demographic. Based on this, you clearly need us than we need you outside reproduction. The Y chromosome is degenerative and will go extinct in some million years. With technological advancements, cum genetic engineering, as you've read in the post, females are capable of parthenogenesis. When that's fully achieved, you're as good as gone. You're utterly dispensable. you know it and that's why there's so many projections from your ilk's end so you lot can feel better, to distract from the inadequacy. hypocritical to brag about building civilizations and the like, yet when it comes to absolute degeneracy, wickedness, crime and pure evil birthed from the depths of abyss and the soiling of hands as a result, suddenly there's no accountability and it now becomes both genders problem when the primary offenders have been men since the dawn of time and since then, the patriarchy has oppressed and subjugated women from every corner of the earth. In the past, women could not even vote, couldn't get better jobs or even jobs, couldn't own land, couldn't attain higher education or education even, was given away for marriage, treated like property, barely had rights, devalued, degraded, needed a male spouse to open a bank acc etc. In the middle East, women only recently began to drive. Some still can't go anywhere without a male's permission or approval. In some parts of the world like India and China female infanticide is still prevalent. Young girls in other parts, are sent into period huts on their periods because they're seen as unclean. In some places in Africa, young girls get their breasts ironed so they won't be predated upon by men, get their genitals mutilated and so many other oppressive cultural practices. And this is just the tip of the iceberg of what women have faced and still continue to face. Despite being constantly disempowered and at an automatic disadvantage by virtue of being born female, women still fight, work hard and contribute to the betterment of humanity. Who told you there aren't female inventors? Or entrepreneurs? Just because they aren't as big as the corporations you've mentioned doesn't mean there are non-existent. They are intelligent women who work behind the scenes and aren't given their due credit look at the African-American female mathematicians whose contributions were pivotal during the space race and so many others. Look at the women running the political sphere and other areas of functional importance. You're a joke to even spew such nonsense.

Divorce is initiated because men refuse to step up and be better. The major reasons why women divorce men is because of cheating and abuse (abuse manifests in all forms. It's not only when a man physically hits a woman). Outside that, the next is dissatisfaction. When you don't help out around the house, don't provide emotional support to their wives, leave all the labor to the woman then it's a recipe for disaster and rightfully so. Marriage is a partnership not a master-slave relationship. There should be equal sharing of duties so that there would be no room for imbalance and resentment. Divorce didn't occur that much in the past not because things were better then but because women couldn't legally divorce their husbands. If the woman was in an abusive marriage then she was trapped. There was literally no escape.

It's funny an aspect were sexism doesn't favour men, it suddenly becomes a problem. If you're so angry about alimony because it favours women more then you have to fight against income inequality. Men literally make more than women even when they're doing the same job or on the same level of competence. If that can be addressed and sorted out, then you would have no worries. Also, men create these single mothers. Why are they impregnating women they have no desire to marry? Why can't they use condoms or get vasectomies to prevent pregnancy from happening if they're engaging in unprotected sex? As usual, men hate to take accountability for their actions.

Miss bitter feminist/misandrist you need to see this and tell me who the useless gender is again?

If the world had more men like me, trust me dogs and cats would be more useful in today's world than women.

The female species would be history soon, God willing!
