British scientists claim to create human sperm (AP)

More avenues avenues to explore huh. At this rate we will have way more avenues to explore than people to explore them. Seriously biotech has really exploded in the last decade. Not that i'm complaining about that.

I call that junk yard medicine.

Give me 15 minutes and a copy of penthouse letters and I will create a large quanity of sperm.

Where does it end....stop the world I want to get off of this planet.

Maybe infertile men are infertile for a REASON!

Scary, women may not need men in the future!

When are we going to stop playing God?

Just imagine if Darwins theory is true then maybe they'll be able to reverse mankinds "evolution" and we'll all be reduced to apes, then monkeys and then we were um, cows, or camels- maybe we were roaches. Freakin' idiots.

I will hate to see what the egg fertilized with THAT sperm looks like...

Seriously, is science going to go to far. I mean, we already know that anything is possible and yes we can re-create anything. It's also possible that earlier civilizations (egypt, sumeria, etc) passed this information down the elites.

Maybe we already have been genetically altered. Seriously think about it. Quite a bit of our DNA is extra terrestrial anyways.

@mompiper - When we realize that we are GOD

We are witnessing the beginning of the end for the need of the male of the human species. It's been nice knowing ya...

Whoa! I guess the sperm shortage will soon be over. I guess British science will move on to curing cancer next.

About half the population of the world can create sperm.

Please spend your time and research money finding cures for cancer and other stuff that actually kills people.

This is kind of silly, are we short on sperm? why do they need to artificially create it? lets use these talented scientists for something useful.

So these scientists were asked what they did with their research money and they said they developed sperm.

Sounds to me like they were literally jerking off and when they were called to account they made some silly story about artificially creating sperm as their cover. Well there is no shortage of sperm in the world or people for that matter so it appears to not be a good use of time or resources.

Hey!!! how did they know i named my testicles "british" and "scientists"? i'll be.........

What a bunch of dumba$$es! The world is falling apart, people are dying of terrible diseases, and a "handful" of British scientists are trying to create something we already have an abundance of. Any garden variety, 13-year-old-redneck can "create" this in vast quantities! Nothing exciting here! Next thing, they will be taking leftovers from the fridge and creating artificial "pooh" from it.

Sperm Shmerm, I want Wolverine Adamantium claws! :P

I've been doing that for years and nobody wanted it!

And it tastes awful! You can tell it's not home made.

Now, if they could only create a British chef.

This reminds me of the court case where the lesbos got mad at each other after lesbo one wielded a turkey baster with a gay guy's spooge in it impregnating lesbo two. It went to court as a child support/custody case. Was lesbo one or the gay guy the father ? The Solomon-like judge ruled the turkey baster the father, thus shutting down lesbo two's claim...

I am all for science and research and technology. That's just the world we live in however, I think if money had to be spent on something of importance and value, scientist would take a look at cures for diseases that are killing people all over the world. But you know, I guess they have to start somewhere and move upwards. We just have to continue having hope that cures will be discovered and then when they ARE that the people who need them will get them, and the "pill pushers" won't stop the explosion of the success because it might put them out of business.

i think its a good possibility especially for those who suffer infertility.

We are witnessing the beginning of the end for the need of the male of the human species. It's been nice knowing ya...

haha leave it to a women,to complete leave out the fact that we have already manufactored embryos so this realy is a gray area but you would hafta get arragant wouldnt you,otherwise it wouldnt be very lady like

And there is no God.

Man! You bible-thumpers sure are short sighted! Do any of you know how importand each and every one of these stem-cell research related discoveries is? Yeah, I didn't think so! The cure to so many absolutly horrible ailments lies in this research! Yeah, I know, you moral majority types don't care about that. Well, if you or one of your loved ones gets diagonsed with something that there is no cure for, like some kinds of cancer, or emphysema, you'll change your mind, if stem cell research could fix it! Oh, I know what you're all saying, "Trust in God", or Allah, or Jesus, or who the f*** ever, "He will heal us"! Do you know how many people have died, because of that archaic point of view? God is inside your head! So is science. The difference, however,is, that science can change things. . .for the better!

Great, the one thing we can get gallons of for free.

This is about as useful as that study that concluded politicians lie, but only because we ask too many questions.

Is this for real? All the bull hockey on this planet that does need fixing and these guy's waste time and who knows how much money on this crap. Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaa Wheeeeeeee Duhhhhhhhhh !!!

did they whack off in the lab again?

Now there's a useful accomplishment: More sperm! Wow! The world just doesn't have enough humans already at 6.5 BILLION. We really need to find more ways to increase the population! Not.
