Improved Fertilization And Perhaps Gender Selection With New Sperm Sorting Technique

Posted August 23, 2007 2:14 PM

From ScienceDaily Headlines:

Researchers have developed a rapid new sorting technique for sperm using a laser trap that can separate stronger, faster sperm from slower sperm. Faster sperm are more likely to successfully fertilize an egg, so the technique could improve the chances of conception via in vitro fertilization by ensuring that only the fastest, strongest sperm are used. The technique could find wide application in animal husbandry and human fertility treatments. Since X sperm generally are heavier and swim slower, while Y sperm are lighter and swim faster, it is also possible to use this new technique to separate sperm carrying the gene for a female child from sperm carrying the gene for a male child to assist with gender selection.

Oh my dear:

This is a real fact that the creator of this universe and the human being has gifted the human being knowledge and logic with the help of which a man can be able to access to all of the other creatures in this universe to use them to the benefit of human being. Be side this the sight of the human has been limited to understand the future effects of the present products and activities. For example; If we take the restriction of the child abuse in to consideration this is really an excellent task which has been considered by the governments. But the ultra-steps taken for its obstruction has caused negative impact in the human societies. The limitation on the authorities of the parents in performing proper punishment of their children and establishment of an environment to force the parents both, Father and mother, to go out of their house for finding money to survive and return late to their homes while feeling very tired form their daily job has caused the children to be desperate from a proper social training which has to be carried out by the parents in their homes. The ultimate result of such a wrong and worst approach caused the people of France to demonstrate against their child birth in 2006. Thus the ultimate yield is the annihilation of the human generation by the human themselves. There are plenty other examples of such worst conditions associated with violation of the human from the Islamic laws.

Now one another restriction which has been imposed on the human research is in the field of bringing changes in the creation of Almighty Allah. This restriction clearly indicates that the human being can bring changes in the living things also. But this will bring very bad affects in the human lives in the future.

The only permitted activity for the human being is the use of the natural things in its existing form to the benefit of the human being.

With the change in the creations is meant bringing very basic changes. Like for example bringing changes in the sex of the human as it has been explained in this article. and so on. The creation of Isotopes caused the danger of sea living things and creation of the Chernobyl plant and similar other plants and atomic bombs which have destroyed the live of millions and millions of the human being and the present environment.

But the chemical combination which do not bring any basic changes in the natural structure of the elements are allowed.

Thank you
