Wow! Good find!

Now let's hope that the pups produced through artificial sperm turn out healthy.

Sweet! So an actual, bonifide virgin birth with no male genetic material at all could be right around the corner!

If they can apply this to humans, I bet a lot of fundies will line up for the fertility treatment conveniently forgeting or glossing over the fact that it was made possible by stem cell research. Either that, or they'll reinterpret the Bible to make it compatible with stem cell research.

We will be breeding an entire future generation of jesus and jesus shark with this. Prepare for things to get a little gay in the future.

ok, this study used somatic stem cells right...so does anyone know if, for example, a lesbian couple could have a child by injecting the isolated nucleus of one's egg into one of the other's eggs and fusing them? the cells wouldn't be somatic and are already haploid, so they shouldn't have the same problems with shortened life span etc.
