"Synthetic sperm"...who made this artificial human sperm? Is it true?
I heard that some scientists somewhere made artificial human sperm. The sperm were claimed to actually have little "heads" and propelling "tails" just like real sperm! My friend told me about this and said it was horrible news, as it was a step closer to weeding out the male species in general. I don't know about that but I was curious if scientists REALLY did make this fake sperm and which scientists did it. Were they from the U.S. or what? Just any information anybody can tell me about would be helpful...

A small group of British scientists from Newcastle University used stem cells to create what they are calling sperm.
Live births of other animals, puppies and mice, have already taken place from use of this kind of manufactured sperm.
But most scientists are pretty skeptical that the Newcastle 'sperm' could actually fertilize a human egg anyways.
Think about this fear for a moment though:
A huge percentage of adult American women will never have children. Many don't even want them.
Do we weed them out? Do we slay them because they are not valuable to us as a species?
No. Of course we don't.
Do we 'weed out' bind people? Nope. Society changed and adapted to provide people with new and valuable roles when we either realized that our treatment of them was not just, or when their old roles became obsolete.
It will be no different with men. They will continue to naturally occur. Some will impregnate women, and others wont. They will laugh when their friends get badly hurt and the WWE will post record profits.
The gender roles will continue to evolve, just as they always have been doing. This huge experiment called human society will keep rumbling onwards, but with a bit of common sense and a functioning conscious, no one is going to be 'weeded out'.
