There Is Officially No Reason For Men

Already battling rumors of their complete and utter worthlessness as a “species,” men took one squarely on the chin this week when scientists announced that they had created human sperm from stem cells.

Ruh-roh.

Can they do that? Really?

From VOA:

Scientists in Britain report they have created the first artificial human sperm from stem cells.

Researchers at the University of Newcastle and the NorthEast England Stem Cell Institute said Wednesday they developed a new technique to make human sperm in a laboratory. They said the resulting cells showed characteristics of sperm, displaying heads, tails, chromosomes and movement.

By our calculations, that means there are now officially zero reasons for boys to even be on the planet.

Of course, the one silver lining in this study is that so far only XY stem cells (that’s “boy” stem cells to the layperson) have been able to successfully create the artificial spunk.

XX stem cells? Not so much.

So guys aren’t obsolete after all!

In fact, maybe those XX stem cells should get back to cooking and cleaning (and being barefoot and pregnant) while the XY stem cells do all the real work …
