Guest Ronixis Report post Posted July 5, 2003 MADRID (Reuters) - Scientists in the United States have created hybrid human "she-males," mixing male and female cells in the same embryo, outraging fertility experts and anti-abortionists. Dr. Norbert Gleicher of the Foundation for Reproductive Medicine in Chicago and a colleague injected male cells into female embryos in research which they believe could lead to better treatments or cures for single gene disorders. But their work provoked revulsion when they presented it to the annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE). "There are very good reasons why this type of research is generally rejected by the international research community," Dr. Francoise Shenfield of ESHRE said on Wednesday. "I cannot conceive of any situation in which this particular technique would be acceptable, and if it cannot be applied there is not much use in experimenting with it," she added. Gleicher and his colleague used male cells because they were easier to track as they studied the development of the embryos up to six days. Their work also sparked outrage from abortion opponents who described it as run-away science. "This is gross manipulation of human life," said Nuala Scarisbrick of British anti-abortion charity Life. "The creation of a 'she-male' is disgusting, but not surprising." Gleicher's study was not the only research presented during the four-day conference which enraged pro-life groups. An Israeli scientist who said eggs retrieved from aborted fetuses could relieve the worldwide shortage of human eggs for fertility treatments also stoked fears that science was advancing before legal and ethical consequences could be considered. The FUCK is this? This is one on the freaky meter... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted July 6, 2003 Since there's no country that isn't going to condemn using this in practice, I have to take the Devil's Advocate stance and say I'm sorta kinda glad for the scientific discovery. Who knows, down the road, maybe something helpful will be made based on this information. Just don't go around making baby she-males, okay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ronixis Report post Posted July 6, 2003 I dont think the Porn Industry would use this- they got cash- BUT not in this area- I afraid in the next 20-30 years the Milltary could use this-can you imagine the Religous ClusterFuck if they use Cloned "Andgro-Cons" in secret missions to oust Terrorist leaders? Good lord I dont even want to think what would they do to them... Hey- Nothing Is Impossible anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ghettoman Report post Posted July 6, 2003 It's one step in a long journey of genetic engineering. Any time we do something previously unable to do in the ways of science it's a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuck you, Power seeking motherfuckers ruining the inital purpose of Cell Research just to statiate your fucking curiosity. You know, I'm no angel, but these are the types of comments that aren't needed here. It's okay to have an opposing point of view but does it need to be expressed this way, especially seeing as how provacation was virtually non-existent? "Fuck you, you fucking pretentious bitch"? Is this sexist or at least deserve a warning from a mod? As far as the she-males go... Technology can be a wonderful thing, it can be a dangerous and sick thing. There has to be limits and boundaries where it concerns good taste. I don't think anyone wants she-males and just because you CAN create something doesn't always mean you SHOULD.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted July 7, 2003 After actually reading the article...all of you are overreacting based on what others said about the research. The only people talking about creating she-males were the anti abortion people and the people outraged by the experiment. The scientists never talked about wanting to create she-male babies. There was no "omg these scientists are insane and must be stopped" parts in that article. She-males just happened to be a by product of thier research.
