MANY FUTURE REPRODUCTIVE OPTIONS. "It is believed that reproduction can continue to happen outside of conventional methods, namely intercourse and artificial insemination. Advances such as human cloning, parthenogenesis and artificial wombs may significantly extend the potential for human reproduction." http://lnkd.in/dFNmHT6 View in LinkedIn

FUTURE OF HUMAN REPRODUCTION. "If everything from technology to politics will be different in the future, then so will human reproduction. That's why so much science fiction deals with the question of how humans make babies — or don't make them — in alternate worlds that are often quite close to our own." http://lnkd.in/dNnGXJX View in LinkedIn

REPRODUCTION IN NATURE is a remarkably varied and flexible process, full of surprises and creativity. This subject is too diverse to be part of this series of blogs on human reproduction, but remains a backdrop. View in LinkedIn

"IN VITRO HERMAPHRODITES ... changes human evolution." That is quite the statement. http://lnkd.in/d-JbBb2 View in LinkedIn

"POSTGENDERISM is a diverse social, political and cultural movement whose adherents affirm the voluntary elimination of gender in the human species through the application of advanced biotechnology and assistive reproductive technologies." http://lnkd.in/dFNmHT6 View in LinkedIn

IN VITRO HERMAPHRODYTES. "Hermaphrodytes have the reproductive organs of both sexes, which is true of most invertebrates and plants, or where the creatures can change sex. Being able to make sperm or egg in vitro from humans of either sex makes us technically Hermaphrodytes and changes human evolution." http://lnkd.in/d-JbBb2 View in LinkedIn

FEMALE SPERM AND MALE EGGS MADE FROM SKIN. "Skin cells from mice were used to make mouse sperm and eggs, leading to a live birth, reported by Japanese scientists in 2014. Monkey studies are to follow as a bridge to proof-of-concept in humans. This is a major advance." http://lnkd.in/d_WJcnF View in LinkedIn

GENDER BENDING BIOLOGY. "There are a number of research laboratories that are focused on the creation of cells that are genetically male but have been produced from eggs ... they are also trying to create sperm from female eggs. If the research proves to work ... particularly important for gay and lesbian couples that wish to have children." http://lnkd.in/d6R6sQG View in LinkedIn
