Scientists have made a major breakthrough that could soon see human sperm grown in the laboratory.

The development opens up the possibility of infertile men being able to father their own children rather than using donor sperm.

Researchers in Germany and Israel were able to grow mouse sperm from a few cells in a laboratory dish.

In a world first a team headed by Professor Stefan Schlatt, at Muenster University in Germany, were able to grow sperm by using germ cells. These are the cells in testicles that are responsible for sperm production.

Scientists grew the sperm by surrounding the germ cells in a special compound called agar jelly to create an environment similar to that found in testicles.

Prof. Mahmoud Huleihel, who also grew the sperm at Israel's Ben Gurion University in Beersheba, said: "I believe it will eventually be possible to routinely grow human male sperm to order by extracting tissue containing germ cells from a man's testicle and stimulating sperm production in the laboratory."

You want a baby? Sperm's in the jelly jar in the fridge, help yourself. While your in there, make me a sammich.

WOW!! wounder in the future, what kind of mix you can make, if you want an *lets say* albino baby (lol ridiculos example),
Or if the sperm is going wrong in the lab, and the baby grows up to be an unemosionall serial killer

This could raise a bunch of ethical questions. Don't know what to think of it really.

I am not sure what to make of this, surely there is a natural balance in the world that has kept us alive since the dawn of time, isn't this type of advance in science fucking with that balance?, like I said the jury is out on this. Watch out guys the wimminzzz won't need us for much longer.

What if the lab mixed species in a dish? You know there will have to be a crazy in at least one of these places. Who know what you'll get? Mansquito? Or worse.

I dont give a crap about sperm creation.

They will come crawling back when there are jars to be opened and weird noises to be taken care of.
