Health Scientist Create Lab-Grown Mouse Sperm
Posted by Cienna Madrid on Tue, Jan 3, 2012 at 11:21 AM
Won't someone's mother be proud:
Scientists in Germany and Israel have successfully grown mouse sperm in a laboratory, opening up the future possibility to grow human sperm from the cells of infertile men.According to the science journal Nature, researchers were able to grow sperm by using germ cells, which are responsible for sperm reproduction in the testicles.
Researchers decided the best way to replicate sperm grow was to create an environment similar to the testicles.
In other words, Cabo San Lucas.

Oh, so we'd still have to keep men around?
Damn, I thought we were headed towards the obsolete-man type of future.
