Sorry chaps, but you're utterly redundant
23:38pm 11th July 2006
Her name was Frances Swiney, a feminist whose vision for the sisterhood
and humanity was more than a trifle extreme.
She thought men were the waste products of the reproductive process and
wanted them eliminated. Her ideal method was asexual reproduction - the
creation of children without a man involved.
That way, she thought, women could look forward to the "gradual
extinction of the distinctive male organism and the assimilation of the
male to the female".
Until now, people like Mrs Swiney, who lived in the 19th century, were
considered to be several apples short of a picnic. But now her vision
of a female-only world is all but with us.
Sorry to tell you, men, but you are shortly to be declared redundant,
superfluous to the requirements of the human race, written out of the
reproductive script. Cheerio and please close the door behind you on
your way out of history.
At least this is the prospect laid out before us by the latest lurch
into the brave new world of medical research.
In the attempt to find a cure for male infertility, a Newcastle
University biologist, Karim Nayernia, has succeeded in using
artificially produced sperm to fertilise mouse eggs.
