Sperm cells created from female embryo

Hmm. Since my wife and I are in our later years, and are beyond the age of child bearing, does that mean we are not meant to exist?
Being homosexual or lesbian IS NOT A CONSCIOUS CHOICE. It is just how some people are.

If we continue along that line of thought, scientific innovation will eventually cease.

<quoted text>Hey this is not that new. Didn't God make this happen with a woman named Mary. She had a baby, named him Jesus or something. Okay, so Mary wasn't a lesbian( as far as we know anyway). But she did have get pregnant without the traditional man contributes sperm method. So science is just saying that's possible. What's the problem. Don't worry all you gotta keep reproducing the way we know best because it's normal crowd, life will still continue. You keep doing the way you like best and just know that there are alternatives if that doesn't work anymore. Of course most of you are not willing to protect the environment anyway and have no problem with the whole "world's end" anyway so what do you care?

Thank you for understanding. It's nice to know another person does, particularly another female. We should all just be ourselves, and let OTHER'S be themselves. And try to break these horrible gender roles that leave people in such horrible situations, like men being abused and feeling like they can't speak out about it.

For some reason this whole thread had fallen out of my reply window. I saw it had popped up on the forum and realized I'd missed a lot. I read backwards and saw your reply.
I didn't really want to ever be trapped by my gender. It's too easy to lapse into those roles. It's kind of funny, I post on the Science/Tech boards and some people think I'm a guy. So what. I saw the limitations of my sex (males have limitations, too) at a young age, hated the way girls could act, hung out with guys, wondered why I had to develop a chest that would just "get in the way" and completely understood why an Amazon would cut off her right breast in order to be a better archer.
I grew up to be a person. A chivalrous person who holds the door for both genders and opens the car door for my husband but doesn't expect him to do it for me. Who didn't need to be asked on bended knee when we both decided to marry. We'll be taking each other on a date on Valentine's (the day we met) and because we know how to play both the gender roles we will romance each other - unless we get in a fight - but I'd even rather fight with him than be with anyone else. I adore him.
Here's a little story. Our two friends were fighting over the toilet seat issue. He said, why should he put it down after he pees, it makes just as much sense for her to put it up for him. She said the seat should always be down, he was an insensitive jerk and she could fall in if she didn't notice it up. Now I've actually sat down in the toilet in a dark bathroom when the seat is up, so I could relate to her side. Still, he was right. Why should he have to keep picking it up and putting it down to suit her.
My husband came into the room and I asked him what he thought. He said, "The cover should be closed, it looks better." Ha! I love that man. What a good answer for an non-issue.
"Yay" for blurred gender roles and "Boo" to anyone who puts a person down or judges them for not fitting the norm. Double "Yay" for androgynous relationships.
Hee hee, I found an Androgynous Name generator:

Here's what I do. Love myself. Practice kindness and understanding. Know my own mind. Try to see all sides of an issue. Hang with people who are cool - which includes my grown kids and their friends. See people as people - no matter what form they bear or how few or many years they have acquired.
Check out some Japanese manga sometime. Lots of those authors are blurring the gender lines big time.
