Scientists in mainland China have successfully mass produced high-quality artificial sperm for the first time. The man-made sperm do not have tails and cannot swim, looking more like eggs than natural sperm, but they can fertilise an egg and pass on genetic information to potential offspring, according to a paper published in the journal Cell Stem Cell
