No women will become what is it called an animale that is both female and male and produce sperm as well as ovaries and just get pregnant like that. Course that would make contraception very difficult if it was all happening like digestion with you not aware of it.

We could always develop a really giant sperm bank to last for centuries and send all men to a different planet....just a thought.
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

We wont need to they be extinct althou maybe a giant sperm bank is a good idea because then thier would still be boys being born ...
random thought and if you dont belive in the end of the world ignore it...but isnt one of the 'signs' that women will outnumber men?? or was it the other way around....no I think it was women will out number men and theres a proper ratio and everything.

I'm thinking this is sort of a conspiricy...
But I suppose it is possible, there has been cases of testiculair feminiazation in fish in the St. Laurence river due to human hormone pollution (through the sewage system to to various medical products)...so I suppose the opposit could be possible...I just don't know if it would be viable with out serious genetic modification.

When the testicles of the fish started to mutate and ceased production of male hormones and started producing female hormones...this occured in very young fishOriginally Posted by Nightshade

definetly not...its a pretty dangerous thing, considering people are eating these mutant fish, that are od'd on a cocktail of human hormones, I just have to wonder what it will do to the people.Well that cant be good for the survial of the speicies can it ?

You wouldnt be refering to something similar to this would you?
1. Walking Abortion
n. A derogatory term for a male.
Originates from Feminazi Valerie Solanos’ SCUM (Society for Cutting Up Men) Manifesto.
The male is a biological accident: the Y (male) gene is an incomplete X (female) gene, that is, it has an incomplete set of chromosomes. In other words, the male is an incomplete female, a walking abortion, aborted at the gene stage. To be male is to be deficient, emotionally limited; maleness is a deficiency disease and males are emotional cripples.

Lol, I know you probably meant your post to be facetious, Kilted, but I am going to ramble on about it anyway. Ms Solanos was apparently not one to let simple biological facts stand in the way of a "good" slogan...(I think she has passed away also)
Once in a while I don't like men either (I have anger issues) but that statement is just nonsensical. There is nothing in biology that states that the Y chromosome is "incomplete".
The sex is determined by the chromosomes of the male sperm cell,
at the time of conception. However, development of a
fertilized egg is the same for male and female, until
at a certain stage, due to the genes on the
Y-chromosome, male fetuses start to produce substances
that change the development to follow the 'male'
course.
In fact, you are hitting a difference in 'genotype'
versus 'phenotype' here. The fertilized egg has the
genotype of male or female, but the phenotype (the
'form' you see) is not yet apparent. The difference
between genotype and phenotype is crucial in biology
but it is often ignored. You have just identified a
beautiful example.
-------------
sex is determined genetically at conception
by the inheritance of either two X chromosomes (female) or an X and a Y
(male). The expression of the sex characteristics doesn't begin until about
6 weeks gestation. Before that time the fetus is not really male or female,
but non-specific. The fetus has two non-specific gonads and two sets of
tubes. If the fetus has a Y chromosome, at 6 weeks a gene called the SRY
(sex determining region of the Y) turns on. This gene causes the
degeneration of the female characters and causes the male characters to
develop. It causes the non-specific gonads to become testes and the tubes to
become the vas deferens. Once the testes are mature enough another gene
turns on to start producing testosterone. This causes the internal sex
organs to develop. Part of the testosterone turns into another hormone which
then causes the external sex organs to develop. If the Y chromosome isn't
present the female pattern of development occurs; the female pattern is the
default pattern so-to-speak. The gonads become ovaries and the tubes become
fallopian tubes. So even though the gene for maleness is inherited at
conception, the expression of the trait doesn't begin until about 6 weeks after conception

Actually I believe that the "feminisation of testes" is a phenomenon found in many amphibians at the moment. Also saw a show on the alligators of the everglades where something similar is occuring. This is believed to be the result of pollution of certain toxic chemicals (usually having a long half life). Animals that are higher up the food chain tend to accumulate these chemicals storing them in their fat cells. The chemicals are very similar in chemical make up to testosterone, and then occupy the testosterone receptors. A similar situation arises in mammals that eat soy. A sheep herder noticed that the flocks that grazed on soy produced less offspring, the females were more prevalent, and all of the offspring were less productive when mating. This is a theory, and while some scientists disagree it does have some merit.

I would like to accept credit but...actually it originated within the article of a scientific journal on the effects of human pollution of the st. laurence river...
