Biologically speaking, sperm is cheap and plentiful, so you don't need a lot of males for a good supply. (Keep a few hunks and Einstein types around and you've got everything you need.) Ova, and the bearers of them, on the other hand, are precious commodities, and so we need to save lots more of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924069477103365664.post-23186160394123680332008-08-29T13:52:00.000+01:002008-08-29T13:52:00.000+01:00Hi MegI can't speak for the others, but I suspect ...Hi Meg<BR/><BR/>I can't speak for the others, but I suspect and rather hope it is unlikely.David Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10511387997239132302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924069477103365664.post-84088530062550301272008-08-09T04:36:00.000+01:002008-08-09T04:36:00.000+01:00Wow, that article was fascinating!

Despite the fact that it's tongue and cheek he has interesting points, especially when we consider how males have dominated society for most of history. <BR/>Do you guys (the authors of this blog) think that in the future people might actually view it as a possible option? It seems somewhat horrific to dismiss half the world's population as useful only for breeding (although that's how females were percieved for much of history I suppose) and even that for only a short while longer!Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16847058821548521653noreply@blogger.com
