    Asexual Reproduction

    Here’s a worst-case scenario: In the future, we might make new human beings without even getting naked. London geneticist Aarathi Prasad writes in her book Like A Virgin that technology is getting to the level where we might only need a single parent in order to create a new child. In Australia, researchers are growing sharks in artificial wombs. Japanese scientists have created synthetic sperm that have been used to create living baby mice. Our lovely, funny genitals may well be obsolete, friends. How sad is that?
