(Of course, it begs the question - why not just implant that embryo?)
'Artificial sperm' may help infertile
April 8, 2008 - 12:35PM
Artificial human sperm could come to the aid of infertile men,
according to a team of German scientists who have used lab-grown
sperm to inseminate female mice.
Artificial sperm could also make males totally redundant, permitting
women to give birth without a biological male mate.
The genetic scientists at the University of Goettingen in Germany
have produced 65 mouse foetuses using sperm which was grown from
embryonic stem cells, according to a Deutschlandfunk radio report.
Twelve baby mice have been born using this artificial, lab-grown
sperm, said Dr Wolfgang Engel, director of Human Genetics at the
medical university.
"If it works in the mouse, I'm sure it will also work in the human,"
he was quoted as saying.
