British scientists are ready to turn female bone marrow into sperm, cutting men out of the process of creating life.
And making women even more worthwhile as 'fodder' than we are right now?!! Half of us can be turned into sperm and the rest can 'have' the babies!! Oh, is there any thought that some techonology maybe, just maybe, not be worth the effort?
Updated title it's suggested they could do the same with male marrow making eggs... Would still need a womb to bear it though...

"British scientists have discovered a way to turn female bone marrow into sperm, allowing women to reproduce without the need of male companionship.
All children born of this method would be female, due the lack Y chromosomes, and there is high chance of birth defects. Eggs also can be created from male bone marrow, but men looking to reproduce would still need to find a surrogate mother to handle the gestation period."
Wow.
That's Awesome!
More girls! ;D
Yay! We need more women! ;D

In conjunction with wombs grown from stem-cells, a little bit of hope for having a child of one's own one day, maybe... :)
