Spermella - A Good Idea?

The British are gangbusters for research to create human sperm from females. The goal is to create babies without any male involvement. It's an initiative promoted by the same-sex community.

Sperm derived from females would logically have to be renamed, don't you think? How about spermella? Or spermeoba? Matrisperm? Spermette? Femsperm? Honeysperm? Autosperm? Instasperm? Spermoselle?

I can see it now -- inside an incubator in a laboratory, surrounded by other petrie dishes. The temperature is controlled at 98.6 degrees and the room lighting is subdued, coming from a lone Bunsen burner. A sound system plays Barbra Striesand's People over and over. Spermella slowly advances to a real human egg -- and then ....

Oh, the mind wanders. Honestly, though, I think sperm derived from females is a lousy idea. They wouldn't swim as fast nor as powerfully as male sperm and they would likely want to stop for directions. Real sperm don't ask for directions.
