Human in a petri dish...nothing but stem cells.


According to Bloomberg News, scientists have created sperm from stem cells. It won't be long before scientists create embryos from stem cells, insert the sperm into the embryo, and voila: human in a petri dish, nothing but stem cells.

This reminds me of the whole Stargate SG1 series, where the Asgard have used technology to extend their lives and repair their bodies, such that they can no longer reproduce, and their DNA is slowly decaying...I wonder if we're headed down that road, some 1000 years from now?

Hmmm.
