    Ah yes, the only two functions, reproduction and opening jars /s

    Recently, scientists successfully induced the stem cell of a male mouse to transform into an egg instead of sperm.

    The resultant litter was in all respects normal and, while we are talking about baby steps (ha) with mice instead of humans, I’m sure that would be a when, not an if.

    The biggest immediate concern would probably be depression and osteoporosis. Pretty sure the depression wouldn’t be very new, sadly, for anyone still paying attention to anything around them at all, but it doesn’t need to be added to the pile for a demographic that already doesn’t tend to reach out.

        Uh…then you have kids? If you want them? I do not think I understand the question.

          I don’t think conveying each other’s opinions is that easy/possible here and impossible to reach some understanding ☮️
