British scientists have concluded a round of messing around with inner body parts with creating sperm from female bone marrow, causing considerable distress to those cheeky chaps at the Daily Mail. Any children born using this method would be female (due to the lack of Y chromosomes), and there is high chance of birth defects. Researchers in Brazil, meanwhile, claim to have turned embryonic stem cells from male mice into both sperm and eggs. They are now working on skin cells.

Well I think that Mischa's synopsis may assuage the fears of most -- if the children born are at risk of birth defects, I doubt this method of fertilization will catch on. Don't worry men, we'll still need ya. In fact, I could use a massage right about now...

Men will never be obsolete. Without them, women would have nothing to complain about...and Lord knows how women like to complain! And if they become obsolete...what happens to the "Honey-Do" lists across the world?
