Fascinating! Really cool to think about. I wonder, if humans could do such a thing (self-fertilization), would it be a kind of biological immortality? Since we would be reproducing our own self - would we remember the life before it (the life of the 'birther')?
Very very cool - thanks for the link.

But is the " males becoming less Males " due to natural events occurring out in the world or direct manipulation via chemical application in food, water, and air.....If you count the government as nature then i would tend to agree with you maybe....Nature....ehhh you're really reaching there...a reply to: johndeere2020

There is only so many times a copy can reproduce a copy before the reproductions become problematic.

Only females can do this. Which is to use pure female genetic material for reproduction. Males can never do this.

I'll just leave this here:
Self-fertilizing plants contribute to their own demise = www.sciencedaily.com...
also don't some animals self reproduce because they are hermaphrodites?
and what about things like male seahorses being the ones to become pregnant instead of the female?
I think nature might argue against your little crusade against your fellow humans.
One experiment in Japan took genetic material from two female eggs and combined them to make a female offspring which was capable of normal reproduction. They called her Kaguya.

The closest you can get to your ideas in a natural way, is human parthenogenesis.
If you 'create' a female that can have children without the help of a male, then it will eventually be the death of humans (Well, those who were made through only female DNA). A smaller amount of DNA and chromosomes, the more defects will appear after time.

Actually, the missing genetic material from a sperm will only result to a female offspring and never a male.
The needed genetic diversity for a female offspring can come from another woman's egg. A female offspring doesn't miss anything with this method.
That is how it works. Easy as pie.
- Promote muscle strength and exercise endurance
- Improve libido
- Increase energy levels
- Improve sense of well-being
- Increase body hair production
- Produce enlargement of the clitoris
- Improve sexual desire and fantasy
- Improve bone density
- Increased accumulation of body fat, this is why livestock growers use this hormone
- Increased water and salt retention
- Interference with normal insulin release and blood sugar control
- Increased risk of overgrowth of endometrium (lining of the uterus)
- Increased risk of overgrowth of breast tissue, and could be a reason for breast cancer
- Increased risk of depression
- Increased risk of headaches
- Increased risk of gallbladder disease
- Increased incidence of blood clot formation

Who says that the "real gods" are male?
God is always referred to as "He". Even if no one is certain about the sex of God, to assign God to a "He" is an acknowledgement that the male sex is superior.
We know from science this is not the truth. If the going gets really tough, our world will be inherited by females, even if not by human females, likely by female reptiles, fishes, and cockroaches.
