Default Could women grow their own sperm?

The day when babies can be made from stray flakes of skin may not be far away. But the ethical implications are enormous, says Roger Highfield

When the Prime Minister walks out of the press conference, he leaves a single flake of skin on the lectern. A woman quietly picks it up, takes it to a lab and, nine months later, gives birth to his child.

This might seem like a fantasy but is no longer beyond the bounds of possibility, according to Anna Smajdor, an ethicist at the University of East Anglia who is pondering the implications of methods under development to create eggs and sperm in the laboratory.

I could not give two hoots. I have done my bit for reproducing, albeit, the old fashioned way.
But be warned! the worm can turn, unlike sperm in the laboratory

I find all this advanced science quite unnerving.

Well, I worked in a fertility clinic for a year a while back, they were getting pretty close then.

well it's OK for those that want, but the old fashioned way as easy called it, is a hell of a lot more fun, than gathering skin flakes.

Orgasm v dustpan, I know which I would choose.
