Researchers Develop Nanobots to Aid Sperm, Critics Call It DEI for Sperm
Nov 24, 2024, 06:49 PM
Researchers have developed nanobots designed to assist sperm with motility issues in reaching an egg. These metal helixes are small enough to completely wrap around the tail of a single sperm, aiding its journey towards fertilization. The innovation has sparked a debate, with some criticizing the concept as misguided and unnecessary, arguing that immobile sperm are defective and should not be assisted. Critics have even likened the idea to a DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) program for sperm, calling it an ill-conceived notion that could destroy us. They also reference sperm competition as a natural process that should not be interfered with.
