they are going to try to ban this from gay couples

[don954]

no, not marriage, something new
A child cant be directly related to both gay parents, so one parent has to adopt in order to gain full legal parental rights, due to the limitations of human biology.

But not for long!:

Mice Produced Using Artificial Sperm
scientists have successfully grown mice from artificial sperm. The sperm was created from embryonic stem cells and implanted into female mice. There were a few problems including some of the mice showed abnormal patterns of growth and difficulty breathing. The hope here is to assist couples who are having difficulties with conception.

1. Hell, I can see them trying to ban that all together!

Sort of makes the male of our species about as useful as an 8 track now...

4. I'm betting eggs can be made too.

And a cow with an engineered immune system can be used to foster the developing baby.

Brave New World.

10. Good grief

I don't know whether or not it will be banned from gay couples or not. Frankly, I don't care because this is so stupid. It's like being unable to conceive is the worst thing in the world. Yeah, it's tough for some people. Fine, have a good weep then go out and adopt a damn kid. Last I heard, there is a hella lot languishing in orpanages. So much research money is WASTED on crap like this that could actually be spent on more beneficial research. No one has ever died from being infertile.
