SPERMATOGONIA. "Scientists from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne ... discovered a method of creating partly developed sperm cells, otherwise known as "spermatogonial" stem cells, from the bone marrow of both sexes, entirely in-vitro (outside the human body), and is seeking funding to see whether such techniques can be used to make female sperm." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_sperm View in LinkedIn

FEMALE SPERM. "Since the late 1980s, scientists have explored how to produce sperm where all of the chromosomes come from a female donor. In the late 1990s, this concept became a partial reality when scientists in Japan developed chicken female sperm by injecting bone marrow stem cells from a female chicken into a rooster's testicles." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_sperm View in LinkedIn

UTERUS DIDELPHYS "or a double womb -- is a pretty rare condition. It affects anywhere from about one in 1,000 to one in 1 million women worldwide. In December 2006 in Britain, three babies were born from two separate wombs inside the same woman." http://lnkd.in/dcH3XPy View in LinkedIn

SPERM NO LONGER MALE DERIVED. "Female sperm can refer to those that carry an X chromosome and, after fertilization, result in a female baby, but it can also refer to the theoretical concept of making sperm from female cells instead of male cells." http://lnkd.in/dE7qjhD View in LinkedIn

INDIAN COMMERCIAL SURROGACY. "The rise in infertility in industrial nations is certainly fuelling this ‘business’, as commercial surrogacy is banned in most of Europe and in many US states. Couples, most commonly from the UK, US, Germany, Taiwan, Japan and Australia, go to India to take advantage of these services ... it will cost them just one-third..." http://lnkd.in/d9qqCRm View in LinkedIn

"GERM CELLS that eventually turn into sperm or eggs are identical in both sexes, and whether a sperm or an egg is produced depends only by how late meiosis occurs." These are the cells that make the gametes, ova and sperm. The ova is the largest, and sperm, the smallest cells in the human body. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/04/060404090939.htm View in LinkedIn

THE FUTURE OF HUMAN BIRTH. With technical advances in recent years, the future of human birth now looks full of options. Whether any of this make any sense at all, is a separate question, but we will tiptoe through the tulips to peeks at the wild and wonderful menu of options. View in LinkedIn

VIRGIN BIRTHS: THE ARTIFICIAL WOMB IS BORN. The future of human reproduction appears to be at a turning point with new technical developments. Pundits in both sides of this debate describe it as inevitable and not far off. This technology, as SciFi as it sounds, could have an enormous impact on future society. And change human evolution.

QUEST FOR PERFECT CHILDREN OR GOOD MEDICINE? "The US FDA is considering approving an IVF procedure designed to do just this: weed out babies with genetic diseases ... This way, the child inherits the traits of three parents. But more insidious is the motivation: to perfect human children." More insidious? http://lnkd.in/d6bjrwN View in LinkedIn
