Last week, Japanese researchers created a fatherless mouse using only female eggs, and turned the reproduction world on its head. The word on the street was men's role in baby making might one day be obsolete.
Okay I seriously doubt we'll vanish into a single sex race (we're too useful for the non-reproductive parts of the process...), but its pretty cool that they've managed to reproduce mice through parthenogenesis.
