baby_G_diaperlover Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Ok so basically now scientists have found a way to turn bone stem cells into fully functioning sperm cells, so basically now infertel men can now have kids and women can now make sperm of their own. i think this is really a good thing because now if you are a post op transsexual you can still "father" a child this is also good for lesbian couples because no they can have a biological child of there own. Thank you Link to comment
runaway Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 ...not completely true. These sperm are not 'fully functional', as you state. They've created spermatagonial stem cells. These are diplod cells ... but as I'm sure you know ... in order to progress to mature sperm they must undergo meiosis (divide twice) to get to be haploid (1 set of chromosomes, not two). So far they only get the mitotic division and can proliferete as spermatagonial stem cells. The way meiosis usually occurs is via sertoli cells in the testes ... they nurture the developing sperm. Producing sertoli cells from bone marrow is something they would have to do in order to "go all femle". They haven't got that far. But yeah... way cool. I myself never want to have children, but this will be great for those lesbian couples out there that have to fight tooth-n-nail to be able to adopt or go through the list of sperm donors (yuck!).

BoTox Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Is this thread mislabeled? I read it and thought contraception as in the contra- in opposition, meaning prevention of conception. I think you meant All Female Conception. I have a view on it and I'll just leave that at "Not Natural" and leave it at that. I only came here because of the misleading thread title and thought you might want to correct it to avoid this again in the future. Link to comment
