Stem Cell Discovery will allow Gay Men to create their own eggs for surrogate birth

Recent findings by a group of Scientists from the Kyoto University Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) have taken the Scientific World by storm, and this has raised numerous questions about the findings, and the potential uses and abuses.

This discovery will allow gay men to create an egg of their own, not having to use a donated egg from a female donor, thereby allowing creation of a child born with both parents DNA, not just the DNA of one of the men and the DNA from the egg donor, as is currently the case. This finding has the potential to invigorate the LGBT community, and whispers of it’s use in this manner are already beginning.

The Japanese research team, led by Mitinori Saitou of Kyoto University in Japan, said that they had finally attained their seemingly insurmountable objective, creating eggs from embryonic stem cells, as well as producing eggs that will become healthy offspring.

The most astonishing part of the discovery was that the bio-engineered eggs were the fertilized in-vitro with sperm created from stem cells as well, and then implanted in the mice.

The resulting pregnancy produced healthy mice, and so far, this accomplishment is a rousing success.

The embryonic stem cells used in the study were a different kind of stem cell than we are used to hearing about. When we think of stem cells, we think of umbilical cord stem cells. But this differing type of stem cell, referred to as Induced pluripotent stem cells, can be obtained from the skin cells of a mouse, and a human as well.

This brings the debate over potential uses and abuses to the forefront.

As I stated in my article yesterday, this discovery could lead to cloning of humans without the need for either a man or a women. Depending on your point of view, this can be termed either way, as an abuse or a use.

But just the fact that this discovery has been attained leads us to imagine all of the most wondrous uses for this new, emerging technology.

This will be a boon for older women that wish to have children later in life, because of a new marriage, or just because they want to. Then there are women with infertility issues, such as lack of viable egg creation or miscarriage problems. Bio-engineered eggs made from stem cells could be created and refined to eliminate these problems, giving these unfortunate women hope.

Let us not forget same sex couples. This discovery could also lead to gay men in same sex relationships having the ability to create an offspring completely from just the 2 donors DNA. Skin cells from one of the men can be used to create the egg, and sperm, or sperm created from the skin cells of the other man can be used to fertilize the egg in-vitro, only leaving the surrogate uterus for implantation question on the table.

If Scientists ever discover a way to create a viable womb that eliminates the need for a women’s uterus, it would be a shocking discovery, one that may lead us down a path of no return.

As with all things, this discovery is not a question of if, only when.

It would appear that this is the next avenue for discovery for the Kyoto Team, and I will bet someone or some other research facility is already currently seeking out this eventuality, and it will be attained someday.

Someday will be here soon enough I think.

    Ever single one of you sicken me, nether man nor woman is more dominate. Any who think that way are barbaric and should go back to there cave to pout. As for the gay thing scientific studies have shown that gay men (not as many studies have been done on woman) have different sexual brain patterns then straight men and thus can’t choose. The small percent that does choose is usually bisexual. As well if god didn’t want something he wouldn’t allow it, he could easily damn them to hell if it was wrong but he doesn’t. The research as well he could stop, why allow it if its wrong. What’s more a gay couple can live a normal healthy life just like anyone else. Also it’s all about the test tube baby oh no, what about the orphans. All are equal, man or woman, black or white, you all sicken me so good night.

    it might be a wonder in the history of science such discoveries!as far there are some good news such as healing people from deadly diseases or creating test tube babies for those who are unable to produce babies etc… my question stands in the name of science why scientists create things against the natures will? is this is the beginning of human extinct? however what will be the out come of these discoveries such gays and lesbians producing babies against nature,s will, it might be a miracle in science but it will be a threat to the human community! further those scientists have forgotten they were the children of two opposite sex(mothers and fathers) not gays or lesbians children!!!!!1

    Interesting article (albeit being a bit badly written). The wonders of modern science are getting intense, but it will always be controversial. There’s a thin line between what’s acceptable and not, and people have a hard time agreeing if that line still exists in particular topics. Either way, this news is very astounding.

    it would be nice if they could turn your balls into egg producing ovaries and that would be great for those who want to have a sex change and give birth and all that once scientists have perfected the male womb and all think about that a world where you can be who you really are and be complete not just and for those who had their parts removed for health reasons like cancer they could get a new womb and still have children i have met a few women like that who wished they could have children and this would be a great way for them to finally have the kids and family they always wanted and no care all men will not turn gay although can i ave your ex’s number i need a bf

    I think pregnancy will soon be a thing of the past. I can imagine a beautiful world where any 2 people can have kids regardless of gender, and instead of a uterus the embryo could just have like a special tube or artificial uterus and couples could come in and check on it’s development until it reaches 9 months, and then it would be taken out as a HEALTHY NEW-BORN….We almost have the technology to do this !! And think about it – It is a LOT less risky than actual pregnancy, and obviously straight couples could still do it the old fashioned way if they chose too…

    But just think you could also use this to get rid of unplanned pregnancy. Women could deliberately go infertile so they can safely have intercourse and then use the stemcell research to have a child with their future boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife….So this would get rid of risky pregnancies, unplanned pregnancies and introduce ways for all couples to be equal regardless of orientation….It’s a beautiful idea!

    The only worrying thing is…(which for some reason no ones thought of) what happens if a person has both sperm and egg cells made out of their stemcells and then reproduces asexually?? That could be messy and I think they would have to do a law against this….

      While reproduction from a single person would be possible, this would not be a clone. Each time an new egg or sperm cell forms the resulting cell randomly takes from either the person’s maternal or paternal genome. Keep in mind normaly everyone has a two copies of each gene with the exception sex chromosomes, for a male a YY combination is unviable but XX and XY will work so these combinations would fail 1/3 of the time. The resulting child would be more a like a sibling than a clone. The risk here is that if a person happened to have a recessive genetic problem the child could get two copies of that gene and thus express it. As for the ethics of a single parent, we already deal with those. I think the primary reason this choice should be banned is the same clinical reason we ban incest, the risk of genetic illness

        Thanks for clarifying that and yeah,that makes logical sense. And yeah you’re right whilst incest and cloning aren’t the easiest things to compare, I certainly think people having kids with themselves should be prevented just because human inbreeding is illegal anyway.

    may I add that any innocent baby brought into this, people should’nt attack the baby, it would’nt be the baby’s fault if something went wrong.>_< I dont like the thought of an innocent baby being put under the test.:(

      What makes you think your boyfriend “Turned” gay? Im going to take stab in the dark and guess that you were his first girlfriend as well. What makes you think that eliminating a woman as a requirement for birth would cause them to go extinct? By that logic, women are completely useless as human beings, except for their ability to reproduce. Please think before you talk.

        Because men are NATURALLY the more DOMINANT physical species of the two so would ‘naturally’ wipe us out over the long term when our single most essential requirement for existence will have effectively been rubbed out.

        Don’t think for a moment women could be conned into thinking this would not happen, mark my words there would be war and great ones too at that and it will be your unnatural gender species that will be wiped out in the process.

          Sweetheart, your ex-boyfriend ‘turned homosexual’ because he’s a lustful little toad with no sense of self discipline, self decency and no self respect, in other words he’s not man enough for a healthy female like you. He is a species to be used by other species of their kind where its survival of the fittest in their world. You must thank Jesus every day for saving your life from bonding with something not of your kind.

          Your ex-friend has a deep depression and death wish in fact by chasing self destruction through the many diseases he will acquire by having sex unnaturally.

    This is just plain WRONG on so many levels, playing “G-d” with DNA. This is truly an abomination and you homos best start seeking forgiveness while you still CAN. These “miraculous” discoveries are a sign of the times… that the proverbial SHTF very soon. Can you not see that with all that’s going on now? It is not NATURAL for perverted same sex “couples” to have their own OFFSPRING anymore than it is natural for them to MARRY.

    The world is overpopulated as it IS, we don’t need new discoveries which will enable ANYONE to add to population- much LESS the AMORAL REPROBATES! You would be blind not to see that transhumanism and CLONING is knocking at the door. Do you really WANT to live in a futuristic society with that?! >:(

    I am praying for the day that men will be able to carry their own babies and start their own families without the help of a woman. Lesbians and straight people get the opportunity to start a family the way they want to, why can’t we have the same right!

    I can’t wait for the day that I can give birth to my own child, I only hope it will happen in my lifetime.
