Reproduction Without Sex, A Terrifying Future For Men

Wildfire

There are an enormous number of well-educated, proficient women who, when facing the biological clock, first pay attention
to their professional ambitions. In the next decade, more young people will freeze their eggs and [sperm] in their 20s, and
bank them for later use.

They will do away with the need for contraception by being sterilised, and withdraw their eggs and sperm from the bank when
they are ready to have a child via IVF."

But in the next decades, there could be even more frightening developments in fertility and reproduction without sex.

For example -- to avert damage -- freezing strips of ovarian tissue instead of eggs, or tapping into recently identified reserves
of ovarian stem cells that could be turned into a fresh supply of eggs for a woman, at any age; or even creating to order eggs
(or sperm) from skin or bone marrow stem cells of men and women.

Early experiments with mice have shown that both sperm and eggs can be generated from the stem cells of males, and eggs
from that of females, and that they can be fertilized to produce viable young in the laboratory … without sex!

In the next decade, the idea of being able to access healthy eggs later in life as something set to be a fundamental tool of
family planning, and one that will empower women just as the pill has.

If eggs can be made from the stem cells of men, with the advent of an artificial womb (already in use for sharks), it will also
give them an organ they currently have to pay surrogate mothers for the use of.

Tomorrow's technology will also give an individual the capability to generate healthy eggs and sperm from his/her own body
and allows a baby to be gestated independently presents a terrifying future for us, men!

The idea of cloning oneself is frightening enough. At our stage of evolution and technological advancement, we are definitely not ready for this nor any other methods except by multiplying as what nature dictates.

Until the time when mankind has evolved and reached a stage when they stop killing each other because of their many differences, when they can manage earth's resources and it's limits, then perhaps they can advance to the next higher level of evolution, i.e. bring to life more intelligent beings to replace them.
