Researchers in Japan have found that female mice produced by using genetic material from two mothers but no father live significantly longer than mice with the normal mix of maternal and paternal genes.
Their findings provide the first evidence that sperm genes may have a detrimental effect on lifespan in mammals.
The research, which is published online (Wednesday 2 December) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction, found that mice created from two female genomes (bi-maternal (BM) mice) lived an average of 186 days longer than control mice created from the normal combination of a male and female genome.
The average lifespan for the type of mice used in the study is between about 600-700 days, meaning that the BM mice lived approximately a third longer than normal.

I was just about to say the same thing myself.
The fact that men are more susceptible to physical destruction than women tends to wear us down a lot faster.

" prepare to be dominated by a super-race of 300 year old Lesbians."
That's their goal, a dominant race of women and no men, only male genes to produce offspring.
Well, since men die at a younger age than women, I won't be alive to see that happen...
