Stainless dresses or budget balance. The one they think of first will point you to what party wins the next election. ;)

They took "some stem cells that had begun to develop as sperm" and matured them into adult sperm cells. That they could identify these tiny cells in an embryo is pretty amazing to me but I sure wouldn't call it creating "artificial sperm".

The whole fertility business is based on narcissism.  Adopt a freakin kid, weirdos.

Gee whiz...I could have donated a bunch.  My swimmers were like..olympians.

Sadly they are no more...although apparently I still manufacture them...they just hit a road block now.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Oh sweet jebus...Test tube babies, lab grown sperm, embryonic stem cells?!  I think I just heard the religious right collectively soil themselves.
