Scientists grow sperm in laboratory

London: In a world first, British scientists have grown human sperm in the laboratory.

The breakthrough in stem cell science offers a potential cure for male infertility and could be used in IVF clinics in as little as five years.

It would allow thousands of men to father children that are genetically their own, possibly from just a sliver of their skin.

But the cutting-edge work is fraught with medical and ethical problems. It raises the possibility of babies being born entirely through artificial means, and even the macabre scenario of long-dead men 'fathering' children from beyond the grave.

that comes to mind for us women is now give us a robot who can fix the car & the toilet and we're all set. ;-)

However, on a serious note, I do not feel that this is progress. As the mother of sons, I feel that down-playing the role of fathers is detrimental to raising the next generation of strong, healthy men. We do ourselves no favors with this "science".
