Scientists Grow Sperm in Lab

Scientists in Japan have successfully grown sperm in a lab. But the sperm cells weren’t created out of thin air. They came from testicular tissue in baby mice. NBC affiliate WCAU has more.
“The process was done in mice, but doctors say it could also work in people. The lab sperm went on to produce healthy and fertile mice.”
This breakthrough could help fight male infertility, and according to CNN, it could bring hope to those going through chemotherapy.
“So for people that are going through cancer treatment with chemotherapy, radiation, or other ways that they are deemed infertile. This could make all the difference.”
“Yea it’s going to be interesting to see how this develops and if we’re going to be seeing testing in humans.”
Not only could it help with adults, it could also help boys undergoing cancer treatment. Technology Review quotes a professor of biochemistry who says...
“‘When people with cancer undergo treatment, they are almost always rendered infertile. In men, you could freeze a sperm sample before treatment, but in [prepubescent] boys, you can't. But they do have testes cells, and if you could develop those in culture, they could be used in invitro fertilization down the line.’”
But some are skeptical about the idea. Keep in mind this involved MICE - not humans. An andrology professor tells the BBC...
"It is important to be cautious because sometimes species-specific differences in biology means that what works for one species does not work in another.”
And a WTXF reporter says don’t get too excited just yet.
“I think -- they've been doing this for decades with unsuccessful results. We're a long way off before you’re going to see some fake guys running around.”
“You're just worried women won't need men any more right?”
“No, my stock goes up if they can't get this done, my stock goes up. Supply and demand.”
While that anchor may not be worried about men’s fruitful future, a writer for Dvice sounds like he is.
“That's one less reason for women to keep our ***** around... [I]t can help women live without men forever and ever, if you take this to it's logical conclusion. We have many other good qualities, ladies! Please, spare us!”

"Calling Dr. Love" is a song by the American hard rock band Kiss, originally released on their 1976 album Rock and Roll Over. The song was written by Kiss bassist/lead vocalist Gene Simmons at a Holiday Inn in Evansville, Indiana. It was the second single released from the album, and the group's fourth US Top 20 single, reaching #16 in Billboard. The song's title came from Gene Simmons' recollection of a Three Stooges short called "Men in Black", containing an announcement over a hospital intercom, "Calling Doctor Howard, Doctor Fine, Doctor Howard", meaning Moe, Larry and Curly, respectively. The songs' main riff is very reminiscent of the song "Cold Ethyl" by Alice Cooper, from the 1975 LP, "Welcome To My Nightmare".
A live version of the song was included on Alive II, released later in 1977. Since then, "Calling Dr. Love" has appeared on numerous Kiss compilation albums. In 2003, it appeared on Kiss's fifth live album, Kiss Symphony: Alive IV.
