The only thing preventing Heather from having two daddies today is the FDA and it’s British equivilent which has a ban on the use of “manufactured” eggs. The whole we don’t need men argument will blow up in their faces and we’re not talking decades but more like the end of this decade. I would say sooner for the two daddies senerio and by the end of the decade for a full blown machine pregnancy and “The End of Women”.

Is this guy serious?!
This has to be a poe.
This is unlikely. Certain genes are "imprinted" with the parent they came from, and experiments (on animals) have shown that same-sex crosses (e.g., fertilizing an egg with the haploid DNA from another egg) result in serious defects. I can't see the experiment ever being allowed on a human.
But people have sex because they want to have sex, not just to produce offspring, stupid. Most people are heterosexuals and want to have sex with a person of the opposite gender.
I guess it would be easier on women if the gestation of the embryo and fetus could be done in a mechanical womb. But after it's born, when it's a baby, it needs role models of both genders around it, not necessarily as parents though.
I bet there are quite a few "Heathers" who have two daddies right now.
Mister Spak for the win.
This guy is obviously responding to a sperm bank comment, real or imagined.
For best results, use Xerox brand cloned eggs. Four out of five misogynists can't taste the difference!

This guy is just hoping for a dream world the same as the anti-men chick... the only problem is science has already shown it is much easier to make sperm or sperm-like cells than it will ever be to have a "machine pregnancy." Heck, we can kinda clear an egg cell, but we aren't even close to figuring out how to implant and feed it artificially. At least the anti-men chick has some science with her.
Even if that wasn't completely retarded, why would you want that? I can sort of understand why a lesbian radfem would want a world without men, but why would you, a manly paragon of totally not gay manliness want to live in a world with no women? Who would you have sex with?
Crazy Sexist from Spearhead is doing the stopped clock thing.
He anticipates the advance of reproductive technology to the point of IVF followed by gestation in mechanical wombs, to deliver children with the involvement of only one sex.
The idea was explored with more detail and more intelligence in some of the works of Lois McMaster Bujold, particularly in "Ethan of Athos". Which book, by the way, points out quite a few flaws in tom47's single-gender Utopia.
Yes there are technical difficulties in even getting there. (I hadn't heard about 'impriniting', I will look it up.) But I am confident that human intelligence will be able to achieve what blind nature already has, particularly with Nature's example handy to examine.
I infer that tom's thinking this change will free him from his perceived subservience to women, "Nyer, Nyer, we can do without you"; utterly failing to recognise that the relative scarcity of 'high quality'* eggs to the superabundance of sperm will reduce his social and economic position even further. Male sexist's hell.
*High quality as defined by whoever wants to obtain them. Whatever their standard, they will be using some standard.
And if you have your way, there won't be any Heather, either. There'll just be a bunch of Peterhead males getting increasingly sad, dirty, smelly, and quarrelsome until they all die.
With no women, then who will you have to bitch and moan about?
And please don't screw up the future for those of us guys who are getting laid.
I remember seeing a post by a certain feminist who faked her own death for no apparent reason that was similar to this.
apparently crazies DO exist on both sides of the fence.
my conclusion? tom wasnt breastfed long enough
> I would say sooner for the two daddies senerio and by the end of the decade for a full blown machine pregnancy and “The End of Women”.
Gay =/= misogynist.
Most misogynists I have ever seen are straight, male fundies who want women to be their sex slaves.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
