can we make sperm?

[Emily]

Can we keep sperm alive outside human body, if provided with the right ingridients and tool?

 

Can it be altered into superior form of organism?

[Thulas]

Well, concidering there are spermbanks, yes, it is possible to keep sperm "fresh".

 

But "superior lifeform" is a tricky thing. It is possible to alter the genotype, it actually is done for various medical reasons (for example to get a donor for bone marrow), but using the existing DNA to create a different lifeform than a human being (even though it is highly modificed) would need to re-construct every DNA strand, but still they would need to be perfectly arranged to make life possible.

 

In short: theoretically yes, practically no, probably not for many, many decades or even centuries.

[Emily]

There emily thought sperm bank collect every DNA for genetic perfection for humanity.

 

..Or improved how they taste..

[Thulas]

Not really, a spermbank is less a laboratory of crazy scientists than a simple warehouse for semen.

 

You know, to "improve" isn't really the correct thing to say, since we aren't able to create something "better" than there already exists, made by evolution. And evolution had more time to do it correctly than we'd ever have.

Anyway, you know that the taste mainly is affected by the diet and not the DNA, yes?

[Emily]

Yes, you mentioned it before on stupid question get a stupid answer.

 

Can't notice the difference if we were kidding or serious on bbof.

 

And how on earth diet modify sperm taste and their genology?

[Guest]

It's all the garbage from fast food, alcohol and other generally unhealthy stuff that gets absorbed into your body.

[Emily]

Ah yes. Those.

The basic Cause of impotentcy.

[Thulas]

 

And how on earth diet modify sperm taste and their genology?

 

The genology isn't affected by the diet, since your whole genology would need to change to also change your sperm's. Well, not yours in particulary, of course.

 

 

The basic Cause of impotentcy.

 

Isn't the cause of impotentcy related to the DNA and/or medical conditions?

[Emily]

Well supposeably Food culture & diet also improve or destroy men genetic. Incase of women, diet are essential in fertility program to develop hormone for healthy embryo.

 

Should work the same way on sperm development & mens health

[formel]

The "only" thing you can influence with food is the level of nutrient, vitamins and trace elements to keep the various stabilisation and repair mechanisms of the cell at their peak efficacy. The genetic structur remains untouched, well not as long as someone start to eat stuff that actively causes DNA damges, but I would not recomand to do that. But this applies to women as to mem.
 
As for Taste you will always have this fellow in sperm

And Amines are most of the time no fun at all.

[Angrybird]

Yeah pretty much right the only way food can influence Human DNA is trough natural selection.

[Jayce Dimmer]

Yeah pretty much right the only way food can influence Human DNA is trough natural selection.

 

Actually, if there is a food that is rampant with retroviruses, it's possible that if you eat the food, that the retrovirus will do all sorts of neat stuff to you, supposing they survive the PH of your body 'n' the stomach acid 'n' antibodies.

[Angrybird]

Genetically irrelevant if you don't pass those characteristics to your offspring .

[LordJerle]

8% of the human genome is retroviruses... it takes less than a percent to corrupt one segment of genetic code passed on to offspring, and the odds are increased if the two parents carry the same or similar strands of retrovirus DNA, which is part of the reason for birth defects.  Alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs also inhibit the body's ability to check the DNA passed into the egg/sperm, resulting into up to 25% increased odds of defect.  

*random facts in head ftw*

[Strelky]

Epigenetics can also alter the genome. Things that happen in your life can SLIGHTLY alter the genetic code, I.e., you start smoking. It can actually affect offspring even if they're born long after you quit. By the way I tend to be severely misinformed so feel free to correct me

[sen4mi]

I read some place that most of the cells in the human body (if we look at quantity, rather than bulk) do not have human dna (if we think of "human dna" being the 23 chromosome pairs that we have traditionally labeled "human"). We are host to a wide collection of little critters without which we'd die.

 

I am amused by how discussions of concepts like "evolution" routinely ignore this aspect of our lives.

[Strelky]

Indeed, there's actually ten times more bacteria then cells. In fact, there is more bacteria on a piece of your skin than there are humans on Earth.

[Emily]

It's amazing thing to think we all used to be sperm.

 

And

 

The best and toughest one ever, lol.

[Thulas]

 

The best and toughest one ever, lol.

 

 Not necessarily. If two ova are fertilizied, they both can become embryos. That actually isn't that rare, but mostly one of the twins "absorbs" the other. So you actually could be the second best only.

[Thorham]

Can it be altered into superior form of organism?

No. You need both egg and seed cell.

 

It's amazing thing to think we all used to be sperm.

Not really. All the seed cell does is deliver half of the DNA of an animal organism and it tells the egg cell to start building. The most important cell is the egg cell, because it actually constructs the whole organism, and the seed cell doesn't play any part in this. In theory you don't even need seed cells anymore.

Shame on me almost forgot to post this here:

That's a freaking chilling thought.

 

@formel.

If Sperm is truly scared and holy.

Fapping should be banned & forbidden.

 

tissue sales drop dramatically.

I don't know if you've been paying attention, but it already is. It still doesn't stop anyone from doing it, mind you.

[Emily]

Sorry, can't resist.

 

Emily knows that some men actually do feel guilty when he does it without his wive or partner. To invest their sex drives to signifying purpose, self improvement and honorable effort over a simple manstrubation.

 

...

 

Speaking of manstrubation, here another naughty curious question of magical myth about sperms that need to be answered.

 

-Do men ever running out of Sperm?

-What defines top premium quality sperm?

-Sperms lead to instinct in destruction or creative motivation in men?

-every single sperm has their destiny?

[Thulas]

 

-Do men ever running out of Sperm?

 

I think only shortly, but soon there is produced more.

That reminds me of an old German saying "nach 1000 Schuss ist Schluss", which means freely translated: "after 1000 orgasms it's over". One of the worst anti-masturbation-slogans ever.

 

 

-What defines top premium quality sperm?

 

Depends on how you define quality.

If you mean a high chance to impregnate, then top quality would be in the quantity of spermatozoons being strong enough to survive a vew days in the womb.

If you mean  "good" in the meaning of "perfect to create a new lifeform", then every sperm would be good enough, since every one has the important DNA needed.

If you mean taste; well, we already discussed that.

 

 

-Sperms lead to instinct in destruction or creative motivation in men?

 

No?

 

 

-every single sperm has their destiny?

 

I'm not sure if the genotype differs in the sperms of the same load; but isn't that a philosophical question anyway?
