Lines: 27 From: COBLEY A (on DUNDEE DEC-10)-------- Question For any biologist out there, whats the fesability of taking genes from two females and combining them together, replanting them in a ovum and so get birth from the result. I realise that only female children could be born this way ( YY chromsone?) and this leads me to the main thrust of the question. What would a society be like if all repoduction (or most ) was done this way since the society would consist entirley of females.What would be the role of males (if any existed),would they be kept as pets? revired?, or treated as equals (they would certainly have 'abnormal' sexual disires as far as the rest of society was concerned, unless you use two male genes and find a kindly womb donor.) Any one know of any stories based on this? Any ideas on the fesability, society, role of men. ttfn andy. A.COBLEY%DUNDEE@UCL.CS --------
