Two women create a baby!!!!
Watch out! Here's some news for all those people who have it stuck in their mind that if there were only females left on earth they would not survive because they could not reproduce without sperm. Your going to have to come up with another reason two women shouldn't be together.
"Scientists have created mice pups from two female mice. No male mice or sperm were involved. The offspring were all female. How did this happen and will humans soon have the option to create babies without men?
Parthenogenesis, or virgin birth, is defined as reproduction without fertilization. It occurs naturally in some plant and insect species. It does not occur naturally in mammals, but like many other procedures of our day, it can now occur with the assistance of scientists.
In April 2004, Japanese scientists announced they created the first mammal by combining the nucleus of one female’s egg with that of another. The female offspring survived to adulthood and now has babies of her own. They call her Kaguya, after a Japanese fairy tale.
Kaguya Has Two Mommies
While this is a scientific breakthrough, the process has not been perfected yet. It took 460 tries at growing embryos this way. And of the ten live mice born in the surviving mouse’s litter, she is the only one to survive to adulthood. "
Still a little more research to put into the project but it's one hell of a good start.

Hiding behind nominal femininity, they have (individually speaking) proven themselves capable of relentless predation on the emotionally weak in their own feminine ranks, and have been observed taking advantage of emotional situations no self-respecting gentleman would.
In one instance, one known to me demonstrated she knew exactly what she was doing as she sidled up to a distraught woman who had just had a nasty argument with her boyfriend/husband, and started rendering 'sympathy'. The grin she gave me when she caught me looking at her said it all. She knew I knew.
When those who blame men for their ills try to outdo the cartoonish evil they say men have perpetrated upon them, it goes beyond penis envy run amok and betrays the root selfishness and callous disregard they posess for their fellow humans of either gender.
This is just a logical extension of that selfishness.
Better they get a puppy, at least it will have a chance to find a loving home later when they discard it.
It comes to mind that there is a certain level of socialibility and deemed worthiness, whatever the standard, required for two opposite sexes to mate, at least willingly.
No such constraint is involved in parthenogenisis.
The offspring of such a self-union have the gross potential to carry on whatever traits the remainder of the population deemed so undesireable as to shun their genetics.
It is the epitomy of vanity, narcissism cubed.
Ya gotta wonder why such experiments would be of interest to anyone and who is footing the bill and what is their agenda?
I believe that most women would still want us guys around, even if they didn't need us for procreating, just cause we are such sweet and lovable little fuzz balls.
And they're going to call themselves The Chicksie-Dicks.
God save us from such women.
The highest concentrations of this substance known to exist are in 1) the male testes, and 2) hotel bedspreads.
What is described in the article is not parthenogenesis. When two nucleii are combined in a single ovum then stimulated to become a zygote it is somatic cell nuclear transfer with a twist. Parthenogenesis is 'spontaneous' zygote formation by a single nucleus ovum.
Repeat after me!
Keep religion out of the science classroom! Science is morally neutral! (Hmm, maybe should read neutered)
LOL.
Thanks for the ping. I guess to me it's scary that scientists are even working on a project like this. The scariest thing though is that some people think it's "cool", definitely hard to figure out some people's logic.
Blue Dresses...
Just crazy! Are these scientists bored or what? They should be finding cures for diseases instead of playing Frankenstein.
Thanks for pinging me to this. The comments are typical of man haters, on that blog.
No offense intended. Purely in jest.
Imagine if the woman does not even need another human and can use her own parts!
(talk about selfish ego.)
Or open that stuck jar? Change the oil? Deal with that mouse? Deal with no electricity? Things like that?
