Stem cell breakthrough may help infertility - Polidicks

[URL]http://www.news24.com/SciTech/News/Stem-cell-breakthrough-may-help-infertility-20110805[/URL] [QUOTE]Washington - Scientists in Japan said on Friday they have for the first time succeeded in coaxing sperm cells from mouse embryonic stem cells, a breakthrough that could one day help humans overcome infertility. The sperm was used to fertilise eggs and were found to produce "healthy offspring that grew into fertile male and female adult mice," said the study in a special online edition of the US journal Cell. [B]Potential use of the technology in humans is at least a decade away, the Kyoto University team said.[/B] But the experiment is exciting because it tackles one of the biggest obstacles in biology - making embryonic stem cells into sperm precursors, known as primordial germ cells, which then can become healthy sperm. "This is the first [study] to report the generation of fully functional germline cells from ES [embryonic stem] cells," lead author of the study, Mitinori Saitou, professor at the department of anatomy and cell biology graduate school of medicine, Kyoto University, told AFP by e-mail. Researchers took mice that were unable to produce normal sperm and injected them with the stem cell-derived primordial germ cells, or PGCs. These PGCs "produced normal-looking sperm, which were then used to successfully fertilise eggs," said the study. The team intends to continue studying the technique and its effects in further generations of male and female mice.[/QUOTE]

Hear that Republicans? Stem cells can be used to create life.

Fuck yeah, science!

so one ladys dead baby, can make another lady start having babies.

Babies used to create more babies, sounds legit.

Kill a baby. Form a new baby. Ah the circle of life.

More like kill a baby that the mother didn't want, give fertility to a mother who will maybe get multiple babies. I can only see positives in here.

Stem cells are wrong, anyone who is infertile is most likely infertile for a reason such as SIN (violent masturbation and loss of sacred fluids) therefore its an act of god's punishment. stem cell research is undoing gods judgement and is thereby evil.

I read this as "Stem cell breakthrough may help infidelity"

Do we really need more people breeding on this fucking planet?

[QUOTE=RichyZ;31592541]i agree whole heartedly, personally, if one doesn't abide by the rules of god, doesn't that make them, a heretic?[/QUOTE] Just a non-believer, stupid modern laws are preventing us from burning them like we used to. Wait, the bible says to follow gods rules before mans, get the wickermen!

[QUOTE=FreakyMe;31591583]Do we really need more people breeding on this fucking planet?[/QUOTE] you are a dolt do you know how many people there are out who are desperate to have a child and would be the best parents in the world , but can't because they are infertile? this is a godsend. they'd do a hell of a lot better than the redneck families with about 8 inbred fucks

The whole "Stem Cell" thing is one of those things that we should be working on more.

So infertility.. Why infertility as the target? I mean we've got enough of people as is, and children without parents. Stem cell researching and the area of study is very fascinating though, wonder what else they can come up with besides from cures to illnesses. [QUOTE=Leonmyster;31587445]Hear that Republicans? Stem cells can be used to create life.[/QUOTE] And if that's so, we are Gods.. lost in the vastness of space.

Some people will pay out of their ass to have kids. They already pay thousands for IVF, which is for females, so then why not have a form that is more aimed at men.

I love how people here think the only way to get stem cells is from embryos, which is what people are against, not stem cells themselves.

This breakthrough is extremely ironic.

If this is so immoral why would God make is so painfully easy for scientists to harness the power of stem cells?

[QUOTE=Midas22;31637117]If this is so immoral why would God make is so painfully easy for scientists to harness the power of stem cells?[/QUOTE] When will people STOP doing that. "Why would God allow this and that to happen?" just so stupid questions

-snip-, I likely have no idea what I'm talking about

[QUOTE=Contag;31637504]YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HIS PLAN GOD WORKS IN MYSTERlOUS WAYS [editline]10th August 2011[/editline] Why can't they adopt?[/QUOTE] I have no problem raising an adopted child but I would find it extremely special for my wife and I if our child looked like us and shared some of our traits. I would like, 10 years after my child is born, to have someone tell me 'aww he has your eyes' rather than 'so which orphange did you adopt him from'. Its not a matter of wanting to prove you're a good parent, its more of the idea that you want to share something special with your partner.
