Artificial testicle could make sperm for infertile men
abcnews.com - Friday, January 20th, 2012 at 1:57 PM
Researchers in California are attempting to make an artificial testicle that will produce human sperm.
Dr. Paul Turek, director of the Turek Clinic in San Francisco, which specializes in male infertility, said the goal is not to create a testicular implant for men, but a “sperm-making biological machine” that will help scientists learn more about just what causes male infertility.
“We’re trying to recreate the process of sperm production in a three-dimensional system,” Turek said. “Simple laboratory conditions can’t get it done in humans. Our concept is to actually recreate the testicle itself.”

Quite handy and timely for many of our political leaders in the Caribbean.
The customers should be allowed to attend these conferences to give thier views on the kind of services that they are given.
All they’re trying to do is make the gift of making life available to those that are not capable.
Meanwhile billions are spent on ways to kill people.
Yah dream on scientists. According to the story it it won’t happen in many years. You are trying extort many from the state, rich organizations, and people to use on your futile dream.
Maybe they will make it with an on/off switch so you won’t have to worry about birth control.
Now THAT would be EPIC. I’d trade in the one I have now for one like that. Really in a heartbeat.
Not going to happen.Only God can do that. Satan once said”I will ascend above the most high”ha NOT gonna happen
Wow, you really are a medieval retard. I hope you can maintain that same confidence if something bad happens to you and you need, say, to replace one of your body parts with someone else’s or that of an animal. Science is saving people’s lives and giving hopeless people hope. You, on the other hand, are living in some ancient fantasy that would happily deny much of the world around you–even the computer/phone you typed your comment on. Is THAT piece of technology anti-God, too? Get with the 21st century.
well now adays wemen don,t need men because they febricateing what we need
sorry guys
Wonder how much that will cost to implant a pair of that.
sa sa ye sa.what next..man will go on inventing till he can do no more.where will it end.then we will hear about extra terrestre.allez nou ka allez
WELL, WELL…Will they succeed?
Nope there’s only one God/
The greeks would like to have a word with you.
SAY SA KITAY WESTAY!!!!
