Mommy and Daddy were once babies too

Single-egg theory.
Immaculate conception without God. No major technological obstacles now appear to stand in the way of producing an adult human from an unfertilized egg.

It would generate only females, since the self-fertilized egg is bound to have only two X chromosomes. Like the article says, this could be a "lesbian feminist's dream", but I'm sure it would make for a very boring world. Interesting article.

Hello,

I encountered your site by chance and was fascinated to read about the "Single-Egg Theory." However, the link to the article on this topic was not working. Could you please email me the web address and/or tell me where, when, and by whom it was published? I would greatly appreciate it !

Many Thanks,

The article was published by Lingua Franca magazine (Volume 11, No. 7 - October 2001). Unfortunately the magazine ceased operations on November 2001.

Using the way-back-machine I was able to dig up a copy here:

I hope you find it useful.
