Sperm created from Stem cells...whoa!

Conspiracy? Ethical? Hmmmm, did a lab in England actually produce a male sperm from embryonic stem cells?  And if they did, is this right?  I guess they were moving forward with a previous study they did with mice, that supposedly produced offspring, BUT, none of the offspring actually survived...so the logical idea would be to move into a human model ASAP!  Love this post http://turekonmenshealth.com/?p=208, it is a urologist from San Francisco that is trying to grow a functioning testicle from stem cells.

The relaxation/erectile mechanisms of tetrandrine (Chinese herb Fen Fang Ji)

Effect of Shi Chuang Zi plant-extract (osthole) on erectile tissue

Conclusion: Cnidium Monnieri (Shi Chuang Zi) naturally increases nitric oxide release, which powerfully increases the production of cGMP. Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (cGMP) is the key in obtaining and sustaining a powerful erection. cGMP relaxes the muscles around the penis, which makes it possible for the cells in the penis to take in blood, thus allows you to experience a proper erection.
