A world called Pluton, where there is gender discrimination and females are superior to the males. Growing the population is Pluton’s main purpose. Herein, having the ability to give birth is power, thus females are dominant creatures as they are created with a womb which is able to carry an infant for thirty-six weeks. The only ‘capability’ that men have is the ability of passing the sperm on to the female to bore a child. The superiority of the female is felt strongly at the workplace, home and community at large.
Men have deep-rooted feelings of frustration against females as they see the fact that all they are needed for in this world is sperm. Nothing more, nothing less. The men feel dispensable. Elita74, the Queen of Pluton is planning

I can use their biological material to create sperm.” Elita74 tries to convince herself. Elita74 being very scientifically smart uses her biochemical experience to create sperm using just frogs; she has never done this before and is anxious about the outcome. She gives the biochemically produced egg to one of her troop members. As the troop member ingests the egg from the robot hen made in the biochemical lab, she falls on the floor and is unconscious for three weeks then gives birth to a half human-half frog (a frog that has human facial characteristics and can talk). This freaks Elita74 out. How could this happen, what went wrong? She blames the horrific result on the female’s womb, “there must be something wrong with your womb”. She tried the process again on another female and yet again the same thing occurred. She soon realizes that it is unsafe to have the females be unconscious for such a long period of time every time they ingest one of the eggs; and it is also unhuman to have half human-half frogs. They cannot have any normal, healthy babies without the …show more content…
Back in W555 the swirling whole to enter W555 is becoming smaller. As soon as it closes no one else will be able to enter it. Those in the Pluton will remain in Pluton and those in W555 will remain in W555. Elita74 and her troops only have ninety weeks until the entrance to W555 is eternally shut.
On the other hand in W555, the fact that no one is reproducing is quickly depleting the amount of beings living there. One by one the people of W555 die due to old-age, sickness, accidents, among many things; but zero people are being born. This means when everyone dies there will be no one on W555, it will frankly be an empty vacuum. Yes, the main goal of “no power struggles” has been fulfilled, however this has indirectly caused more destruction than it has caused peace.
Kofi Annan once said, “Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance.” This was clearly missed by the people of Pluton as they only aimed for gender equality and did not think of the consequences of their extreme measures of getting away from gender
2. The nations develop a hierarchy and extreme class divisions as a response to the drive for resources caused by the infertility epidemic. Government officials, predominately males, rank highest in both societies and receive luxuries and power. The lowest ranking citizens are mistreated, controlled, and provided with only the bare minimums. 3.
In simple words, by sterilizing female’s fetus, it is shown how this society relays more on males, not minding if the future offspring are based on males. Just because of this gender preference, woman have to suffer the disadvantage of going through this procedure and feeling a bit less important. Dissatisfaction among citizens in a supposedly utopian society might arise due to the fact that racism is present and a difference between males and females exists; not necessarily social classes are established based on gender, but it is for sure seen how one
The fight for true equality has always been a struggle, but we must understand that this can only be achieved through unity and acceptance of one another, that must start by the government actively taking a stand on a corrupt system
Eric has a possibility of being sterile because of the hyposecretion of T4 and T3, which can cause sterility (Marieb & Hoehn, 2013, p.607). Eric might also be sterile because of his low testosterone levels. This causes semen volume to decrease, and it can impair erection and ejaculation, leading to sterility (Marieb & Hoehn, 2013, p.1034). 2. Is there anything that they could try to do to stimulate spermatogenesis?
In the ever-changing world of science, in vitro fertilization has taken fertility to another level. In “Test-Tube Babies: Solution or Problem?” Ruth Hubbard describes just how in vitro fertilization works and the many risks factors the procedure brings with it. Hubbard gives her audience statistical evidence of women with unsuccessful pregnancies then follows it with historical evidence about the first women to ever receive in vitro Louise Brown in July, 1978. Although one might conclude that Hubbard would support in vitro she makes a shocking statement “But as a woman, a feminist, and a biologist, I am opposed to using it and developing it further.”
Is Pluto a Planet? Many people say that Pluto is not a planet, while some others state that it is. Pluto is a planet, as it contains many of the characteristics.
Both sperm and embryo freezing are routine procedures performed successfully in most fertility centers around the world. Egg freezing, however, is not yet routine and still has a certain social stigma attached to it. Issues in freezing and thawing of human eggs center on the
People thought that the north star was the brightest star in the universe. When we had slavery the slaves would follow the north star which was quite noticeable, considering people thought it was the brightest. Although, people may have gotten the North Star confused with other stars, people still believed it was the brightest. People believed that the north star was the brightest star because they got it confused with the dog star, (Alpha Canis Majoris). Stars have different magnitudes, so if the north star had a magnitude of below -1 it would be brightest then a star with a magnitude of above 0.
“The egg and the sperm: how science has constructed a romance based on stereotypical male-female roles” is the article written by the anthropologist Emily Martin spell out the social-cultural stereotypical roles by understanding the scientific language of biology from comparing egg and the sperm. She argues that the scientific studies are gender biased and they are carried out in our language. Martin’s research portrays men as bold and independent as they have to take care of themselves and family as the scientific study exhibits the sperm as active and strong organ that is free of its will to journey through the egg and penetrate it. While studies manifest that women are passive and depending as it sounds like they have to wait for men to
Saturn is the second largest planet and sixth number planet of our solar system. Saturn is a gas giant made up of hydrogen and helium. It is big enough to hold more than 760 Earths within it, and is second massive planet after Jupiter, roughly 95 times Earth 's mass. However, Saturn has the lowest density among all the planets of solar system .It spins faster than any other planet except Jupiter which help Saturn with its magnetic field which is about 578 times more powerful than Earth 's. Although Saturn has at least 62 moons but its largest moon, Titan, is slightly bigger than Mercury, and is the second-largest moon in the solar system after Jupiter 's moon Ganymede (our moon is fifth largest).Although it is the most interesting planet

While some people belief that by using IVF the people are destroying the natural cycle of life. They belief that a baby should be born through a natural process and that by using IVF the people are “playing God”. They also argue that IVF “dehumanize women and reduce them to empty vessels waiting to be filled with babies for the benefit of men” (Farris Naff 19). They believe that women go through the process of IVF because they want to satisfy their partner instead of themselves. Even though, IVF can be convenient for women, it is known that IVF can have some bad outcomes to some.
Everyone is entitled to choose their own lifestyle, whether they want to have a child or not. Some females who seek to have children find it easy, although some are unfortunate. There are numerous of reasonings, such as being too old to be pregnant, damage to the Fallopian tube or uterus and cancer radiation or chemotherapy. As our generation goes on, many discoveries revolving biology is produced and one of it is the In Vitro Fertilization or “IVF”. It is the procedure of fertilization where they save sperm sample, take an egg from the women and physically combining it in a laboratory dish where the egg and the sperm is now called an embryo.
Empowered men and women are in a better position for contributing towards productivity of the entire family, they also support in improving prospects specifically for the future generation. On the other hand, gender equality is fundamentally related to sus¬tainable development and globally accepted as a necessity for the promotion of human rights Furthermore, gender equality is achieved when women and men enjoy the same rights and opportunities across all sectors of
It is important to link gender equality and sustainable development for a number of reasons. How can we achieve a sustainable future, and reach our development goals if half of the world’s population has their rights, capabilities and dignity ignored? Women’s knowledge should be used to help achieve these goals, they should be viewed as central actors, not victims. Furthermore, to be effective, policy actions for sustainability must redress the disproportionate impact on women and girls of economic, social and environmental shocks and stresses. The lives of girls and women have changed dramatically over the past quarter century.
