Player #Skippy, Most alchemists wanted to create gold, but some wanted to create humans .Macabre as it is ,it's factual history and should not be forgotten, because with the advances in cloning there's a good possibility some modern day alchemists are about to go down the same path.

Exacty, things like this should be forgotten. I agree.

I'm reminded of a really gross video from years ago where a guy allegedly grew one from a sperm and chicken egg. Was probably fake but I remember being disturbed and grossed out when I saw it.

Before some time it was accepted that in the sperm a homonuclus was live. But it is not true
life is equally in both sperm and ovum.
