Sperm cells created from female embryo
Roger Highfield- 31 Jan 2008

"Sperm cells have been created from a female human embryo in a remarkable breakthrough that suggests it may be possible for lesbian couples to have their own biological children.

British scientists who had already coaxed male bone marrow cells to develop into primitive sperm cells have now repeated the feat with female embryonic stem cells."

science is amazing and im so excited and happy for the people but I think the next focus in reproductive technology should be in transplanting a uterus for transwomen I think some women those who have had all the children that they want in life would be willing to donate that organ if it were possible and I think if doctors/scientists focused on a way to make that happen it could be done and everyone will be happy and make a lot of money and if its something that people are demanding and offering money for if it can happen it will happen eventually I think if there is even a slight demand for anything and money is involved things tend to materialize lol at first at least the cost for having a procedure like that done but think how amazing that would be scientific advances will make possible things we cannot even imagine if they know there is a demand for it but if people are not making it an issue it wont happen

im glad focus is on science instead of stupid space exploration and war federal money should be spent on people and that means science for people or healthcare and and if they can design a way to successful transplant an organ and how would that be any different from transplanting any organ I predict when that day comes which it will be the best day ever for a lot of people including women lol I know a lot of women who would be more than willing to donate that organ if such a technology existed so someone else could have that curse every month I think more than a few women will be signing up for that :)
