Extinction of XY

Pointing towards Extinction of XY

The telltale sign for the extinction of the male species from the family of Homo sapiens is what we see the way things are progressing in this world. The research is progressing towards unisex in future and it favors the female sex.

If they can produce sperms from their own cells(stem cell research) then there is no need for a male role in the process. Procreation is not a problem and the females don’t have to depend on male germ.

Moreover as there are plenty of sperm banks there is no dearth of sperms. If they want babies they can just walk into any sperm banks & choose the baby as per their desire.

What need is there for the male germ? The advent of sperm banks, stem cell research & designer babies means women don’t need men physically for procreation. Stem cell research & gene technology all point towards unisex. The survival of fittest in the unisex scenario favors the female sex. The supposedly weaker sex (anomaly) will finally become stronger & do away with the XY. The option to choose the Childs sex at present in poor countries which lead to female foeticide can be reversed and the futuristic scenario of preference only for same sex will lead to a possibility of male extinction. As I see it everything is falling into place for a woman only world.
The society is disrupting at a rapid pace. Many men are dying in wars & calamities. The Social fabric is at odds all over the world as we see it in our everyday life. The institution of marriage is at cross roads. The role of males as provider no longer holds good. Is it for good or worse we will know only as time passes? Is it Paranoia? No it is not. It is just a forecast for the future years to come.

Democratic System In India

Democratic System

Now that the recent elections have concluded in various provinces in India & results are out some pertinent questions came up in my mind.I always had a doubt about the system because it only reflects the majority mandate. Is it then the people’s choice as we call it? It is of course the majority choice even if the margin of victory is very small no doubt about it whatsoever.Now the minority will have to accept defeat and abide by the rule of the people who won in spite of having an ideological difference. So will the people be happy with the rule & policies of the ruling government. Of course not is the answer for those who supported the opposition party.Now as I see it there is a flaw as many are not happy with the decision but will have to accept it. This predicament made me wonder if this system the best after all.Democracy is defined as “Rule of the people for the people, by the people” In democracy many times people vote for who they want not what they want. But is this the right system? I think not. The main thing that makes democracy wrong is that it doesn’t seek out what is best for its citizens but does what majority wants so what about the voice of those minorities who did not agree or lost out in the vote. I do agree democracy is the good system in the face of earth at the moment but it needs a lot of changes to make it the best system. It needs to inculcate the best from other systems to gain acceptance by people world over. Democracy transcends boundaries laid down by religions in the name of freedom of speech. I think man should limit himself of his freedom if it is likely to offend others choice. These laws should be in harmony. The real democracy will be when the government is able to satisfy all the people under its umbrella that is those in their side & those in the opposition by consensus. I feel a lot more refined democracy will be the answer & the world will be a peaceful place if all embrace that.
