Chronus Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Are they trying to make men obsolete and unnecessary? Can a woman really live without a man ? I doubt it Even if they don't need a man to make a baby.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8142104.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Yeah, it's all fun and games until she puts her car in a ditch at 30F below zero. Then does she call her lady friend? No, she calls her man with the 4WD and tow chain. Plaything? I can quit working and be a boy toy? Do you mean to tell me I could get PAID just for being an accessory? Sign me up!!

KB Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Seriously though does anyone else think that scientists are getting way ahead of themselves here? I mean I don't support human cloning but surly you need to perfect that stage and understand the ramifications before bypassing the lot and just grow human sperm? There is so very much they still need to understand about normal humans before they can safely grow them, you take two healthy looking sperm and I bet there is not a scientist in the world that can say the one on the left will be a genius and the one on the right an axe murder.

Nanuq Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Unfortunately Ken, if it were possible to look at a genome and determine it was going to produce an axe murderer, I wouldn't want to live in that world. The idea of genetically building a Super Race was tried... and failed. And thank God for that. Edit: no feminists were harmed during the making of this posting.

KB Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Yes I understand that Nanuq but my point is that at the spermatozoa stage we do not have he knowledge yet to say whether they would be genetically flawed or not. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhhhh, there's where you're wrong! "Two X chromosomes? Good. One X and one Y? FLAWED!" Edit: no feminists were harmed during the writing of this post, but one suspects they are now quite miffed.

Miss Understood Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Ahh Nannie my succulent salmon, you used to love crossing my chromosomes It's not about X and Y it's just X marks the spot. I remember those night's way up North where men are men and bears are frightened. Men will never be obsolete as long as there are women with desires like mine....I'm coming to get you big boy XXXXX Edit; 2 feminists were roundhouse kicked and 1 karate chopped when they tried to stop this post.

sssurfer Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Clone reproduction would put the uman race to extinction unless you also include mutation and crossover into the method. Evolution needs variants to select, but perfect cloning makes perfect copies of the parent being instead. Viruses, bacteria and parasites would keep evolving, while their prey's (us) genomas would stay identical through ages. Viruses, bacteria and parasites would win hands down quite rapidly -- a few thousands years, I would say. A few thousands years are a time long enough to let Medicine discover new ways to cope with viruses, bacteria and parasites, still this would not be enough. You cannot win a mutating enemy (AIDS teaches) if you stay the same. And -- introducing mutation and crossover in reproduction is a problem that the Nature already solved quite efficiently. By selecting sexual reproduction. About the axe murderer issue: even if we could predict the phenotype resulting from a given genotype, this would not be enough to tell a future axe murderer. In the human race, genotype counts only for about 50% of our mind, the remaining 50% being modeled and driven by our individual life and interactions especially with other human beings. And -- welcome back, Miss Understood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Oh, isn't it a lovely day here in Hawaii, with the sun and surf.
