Skyrad 0 #1 December 20, 2006 As far as we know the last time we heard of a Virgin birth was 2000 years ago but its just happened again and following DNA tests it has been proved that this really has happened! http://anotherchancetosee.blogspot.com/2006/05/komodo-dragons-virgin-birth-still.htmlWhen an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

I believe they stated that during sexual contact the male ejaculated onto the female's vagina which caused the virgin female to become pregnant and thus have a virgin birth."That looks dangerous."

Botellines 0 #3 December 20, 2006 i am still skeptical, If we are going to take the bible as true the Virgin Mary was a woman (Genes X X) and Jesus Christ was a male (Genes X Y) so parthenogenesis doesn´t look possible as someone would have had to provide the Y gene. Maybe someone more knowledgeable about science can enlighten us... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #4 December 20, 2006 There was a (either a Heinlein or Asimov) story about a guy born a woman but happened to have both sets of plumbing. The male bits were internal, but were reconstructed after a difficult pregnancy messed up the existing female plumbing.... There's a bit of a time travel, and I think a cat threw up at one point, but the summary is he/she (the human, not the cat ) turned out to be his/her own mother and father. ...

rehmwa 2 #6 December 20, 2006 QuoteThe cat was the mother and father of the guy/girl? I better go back and clean that up. Nice catch If so, however, then I'd say definitely Heinlein ...

Unfortunately though, not quite accurate QuoteIt is believed that Sungaï, who arrived at London in early 2005 on loan from Thoiry Zoo, mated with a male there in 2003, and has since carried the sperm in her reproductive tract for over two years! On deciding the conditions were right here in London’s dedicated dragon facility, Sungaï self-fertilised with the stored sperm and laid the eggs in August 2005. Seven and a half months later, four relatively tiny dragonlets emerged from their leathery eggs. Lizards are cool because they're freaky!Do you want to have an ideagasm?

rehmwa 2 #12 December 20, 2006 Quote"Only I will remain. In total calm I will then impregnate myself with two year old sperm." Yeah, thats got a nice ring to it What I don't understand, is if the genetic bloodline was SO DAMN IMPORTANT, how come they trusted it to just a single line of descendants leading to a single person. Especially since that person is the target of assassination, etc. Would it really hurt for the BeneGesserit to allow the families to have maybe 2, or even 3, kids. just in case? Doesn't seem too advanced to me. ...
