Yes I saw this news, Dive. A revelation, isn't it! lol. That's a good question, Alifan, though in my case when married, it would have been "Who would put the rubbish out?" - there's usually one single job isn't there. Present company excepted, I am sure, Dive. Your domesticity seems to have broken the mould!
Though in all seriousness, it merely negates men from the usefulness of reproduction. There are one or two other things I might miss them for... though, once again I correct myself and say I've been single for 3 years now and I don't find myself 'looking' at all. Really not too bothered. Quite happy doing my own thing :D and no Dive I don't mean that!
Lynn: I'm quite sure I have no idea what you mean by … er … that. Hee hee.
As for least favourite jobs around the house, mine's probably scrubbing the bathroom, but I don't hate it sufficiently to feel the need to get a man in to do it for me.
Cali: Men have never been necessary; we've just been pretending we are and hoping women wouldn't notice.
There is a book by Katherine V. Forrest called "Daughters of a Coral Dawn" that touches on this subject a little bit. It is purely fiction, but fun to read.
My feelings - why is medical science applauded when it is used to find the cure for cancer, enhance male erection and in the same breath trampled on when finding alternative ways of procreating our species?
Isn't that our ultimate goal on this planet?
Just my thoughts...but then again I'm a lesbian so maybe I'm jaded in my opinion.
Katie, I wonder if Professor Harris realized, when he saw that quote in print, what he said or if he knew full well what he was doing and wondered if anybody would 'catch' it!

Who would make the oatmeal?
In find the whole thing disturbing from a ethical point of view--the way they make the sperm, that is.

My favorite line in the article is "people are groping around for a problem". Is that how they got the sperm to use in this experiment?
LOL Katie....that is brilliant!
