Thread Name: BS: Spermless Pregnancy
Subject: RE: BS: Spermless Pregnancy
hmmmmm- interesting - a logical progression from the various cloning experiments - but somatic cells are diploid, the egg is haploid - which might mean a sterile, triploid offspring (tho' I doubt if such would be viable) - unless they somehow either double the chromosomes of the egg first or halve the somatic cell's...

I wonder if they will find out that the offspring are actually clones rather then fertilized embryos
