Don't forget that the ovum is the single largest cell in the human body. And indeed X + X = XX, but they're different from male X chromosomes. The mitosis cycle starts up but dies off after just a few divisions... So we're not obsolete! (yet) :)

Just like cloning animals leaves animals with a naturally deteriorated set of genes, so cloning at the sperm & egg level will leave you with deteriorated genes. This is the ultimate incest and will have the same results as incest. The one thing the government can’t replace men for is a mixing of genes to counter genetic entropy.

Sat, 14 Apr 2007 04:37:51 +0000 http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?p=10885#comment-592107 We used to worry about cloning. Soon a woman will be able to have her eggs fertilized with her own test tube sperm made from her own genetic material. That means that there would be only one genetic parent, not two. Talk about inbreeding! She can have a child made from only her genes that will not be a copy of herself. The child would be a product solely of the mother's genes but would be unique and not a duplicate "clone". Let the SciFi writers tackle the implications of that. Imagine a society without men and all the women have children without donor genes. Even the ugliest, nastiest, maladjusted, misanthropic losers will be able to reproduce.
