[quote:Amorousity wins 384069:MV80OTgwOTBfNzkxNTE1M183QTlGNkY1Nw==] All this talk about 'This will piss God off"....come on. Like the other person said, "God made us how we are" even though they meant it differently- it is true. GOD made us who and how we are. Our lives are already planned out for us therefore meaning that if you are homosexual- you were MEANT to be. There is no cure for it, and you want to know why? It's not a disease, virus or anything life threatening. Wait, I take that back. The human race makes it life threatening. Everybody speaks of "The Bible" to back them up on hating homosexuals, what about using the Bible to back you up on loving everyone, and treating your neighbor how you want to be treated? But you people dont do that. You use the Bible for evil and that is not its intent. Also, there are many other things that are an 'abmoination'in the Bible- such as: having sex while the woman is on her period- and if done, then both parties involved should be executed. ...but like the sin of eating pork, we no longer follow that rule. What about if a man dies childess? his widow must have sex with all of his brothers until she creates a son. There are so many acts in the Bible that are consider wrong...but yet we as people pick and chose which ones we want to follow. That is not how it should be. I am not saying that the Bible says to accept homosexuals, but instead of hating, banashing and many times murdering them- love them as one of Gods childern and if you still cannot- then do not take your anger and hatred out on them...if you must do anything- then just pray. If homosexuals really are going to hell...think about all the people in their lives and this world who have judged them...because they will burn too. [/color] [/quote]

Sperm cells created from female embryo
Lesbian couples could one day have children who share both their genes
Sperm cells have been created from a female human embryo in a remarkable breakthrough that suggests it may be possible for lesbian couples to have their own biological children.
British scientists who had already coaxed male bone marrow cells to develop into primitive sperm cells have now repeated the feat with female embryonic stem cells.
The University of Newcastle team that has achieved the feat is now applying for permission to turn the bone marrow of a woman into sperm which, if successful, would make the method more practical than with embryonic cells.
It raises the possibility of lesbian couples one day having children who share both their genes as sperm created from the bone marrow of one woman could be used to fertilise an egg from her partner.
Men and women differ because of what are called sex chromosomes. Both have an X chromosome. But only men possess a Y chromosome that carries several genes thought to be essential to make sperm, so there has been scepticism that female stem cells could ever be used to make sperm.
In April last year, Prof Karim Nayernia, Professor of Stem Cell Biology at Newcastle University, made headlines by taking stem cells from adult men and making them develop into primitive sperm.
He has now managed to repeat the feat of creating the primitive sperm cells with female embryonic stem cells in unpublished work.
The next step is to make these primitive sperm undergo meiosis, so they have the right amount of genetic material for fertilisation.
