If by "Master Race" you mean "Dead Race", yes, that is exactly what will happen.

[ChairmanPoo]

I've not seen any serious source that mentions Y spermatozoans being faster. Textbooks don't mention it, and a quick glance at serious articles avaiable online don't mention it, either. I'm inclined to think it's an old wives' tale.

[Leafsnail]

Huh?  No, not frail woman genes.  More like frail Y chromosone in this case.

[Grakelin]

If we could somehow create a man with an XX chromosome, he would likely rule us all.

[ChairmanPoo]

Well, it's definitely true that male babies are frailer.  You have all those hormones from your mother to worry about in addition to genetic diseases on the bit of chromosone you only have one copy of.

nope.

EDIT: quoted for relevance:

Although the difference was not statistically significant, early neonatal and perinatal mortality-1 rates were slightly higher among males than females (35.0 versus 29.3 per 1000 live births, P = 0.60; and 72.6 versus 56.9 per 1000 births, P = 0.29, respectively). However, the 28-day neonatal mortality rate was slightly lower among males than females (40.5 versus 48.8 per 1000 live births; P = 0.51), as shown in Table 1. The reason for this difference was that the late neonatal mortality rate (i.e. for deaths from days 8 to 28) was significantly lower for males than females (5.5 versus 19.5 per 1000 live births, P = 0.05).

(for those unfamiliar with it: The "P" is the odds that you would have gotten that value anyway picking at random)

EDIT: Oh wait no I see it now.

Although considering that this is Pakistan, couldn't that be an infanticide thing?

If we could creat a man with XX chromosomes, we'd have a woman.

[Grakelin]

Just goes to show I never do my research before I post things here.

Then again, none of us really do.

[Jreengus]

How about YY? Would that even work?

[ChairmanPoo]

No.

How would you get that one anyway? You'd need a spermatozoid impregnating... another spermatozoid

There's a XYY syndrome, though. But it doesnt manifest many things. Allegedly they have a higher incidence of learning disabilities, but it was not a huge difference.

Also allegedly: we were told in class that they often had their ring (fourth, starting by the thumb) finger longer than the index. (But that it wasn't exclusive of XYYs)

[Heron TSG]

Didn't a bunch of scientists breed two male rats? If that's possible, why not a YY He-Man?

Genetically engineer out the X chromosome in a lab? Probably wouldn't produce viable development, and there's fuck all motivation to try outside of FOR SCIENCE! or bizarre movie plots with a nonsensical luddite message about playing god...

[Grakelin]

Interesting to note is that having too many Y chromosomes damages your brain development, and having too many X chromosomes just makes you sterile.

So, really, this whole feminist thing has been turned upside down on its head. It is now clear to me that women are biologically and intellectually inferior and only good for breeding.

God has spoken, we may not close this thread.

Because they didn't do it like that. They exploited the fact that their IPSC line from one of the mice was unstable. Some of the cells lost the Y chromosome, and in humans this would have rendered a Turner-syndrome individual, which are sterile. But either because they were mice, or because of the differenciation technique, they were able to create fertile mice ovums from those cells. After that, they got a spermatozoid from another mice and fecundated it.

The monster must eat the scientist at the end of the movie. Obligatory.
