They did, in fact, have to mutate one of the genes of the females to act male.

- druscilla; in love:
Only currently.
- Bloodraine:
Yeah, but it needs a sperm.

- I believe [I may be wrong, but I THINK] I read somewhere that two women can give an egg, and in a laboratory, scientists can make an embryo from that.
Scientists have taken the genes from two female mice--and no male--and created a baby mouse from it.
Humans can't do it yet, but eventually...
You know, thats the problem with quoting six words out of 186. Contexxxxxt.
Looks like Asexual reproduction isn't just for geraniums anymore, heh. Although I do find the prospect of chopping up the chromosomes really creepy. I mean, females only have XX, right?
So females would only be able to fertilize their own eggs, producing only female children. Right?
Ah well, I suppose thats only a problem if you're Chinese.
Plus, people always say a child needs a father figure. Well, I don't always agree with that, but I think that at least a sperm would be cool, you know? at least keep something natural about reproduction, before we're all being grown in pyrex petri-dishes.
