If this were possible, obviously the child would be female from the XX combination. Further, could 2 men do the same thing by replacing an egg nucleus with a sperm nucleus? - this would theoretically result in female 1 in 4 times (XX), male 1/2 times (XY), and YY one in 4 times. YY would not be viable, right? (I don't know). Has this kind of procedure ever been done, and if not, can it be done?

If it were available my spouse and I would be lining up to do it. I've read some things about it, but it's hard to find info even on the net. Yes, 2 women would always have a girl because of the XX chromosomes. The article I read said that it had been done and they call the baby a "spare part baby". Not the best name if you as me. I don't remember the site I found the info on, but I sure wish they would get it out to the public soon. I think it was 2 or 3 years ago when the first baby was born, and I'm sure that there will be many to follow.

I think it depends on the situation... For starters, however, there are no constitutional amendments protecting men from anything or giving men the right to anything specifically. Now this might mean that men are the dominant factor and have to be kept "in check" or it might mean that there is a psychological factor at play in society that says women are "weaker" and need protection. I'm willing to bet, you'd hear both sides of the argument with various caveats to accompany those arguments. We have a local newspaper (The Westword) that recently published an article about a guy suing nightclubs over the Famous Ladies' Night that usually occurs on Wednesdays. His claim was that women get free drinks from men as it is, so why is there discrimination against men on Wednesday nights allwoing women to drink free and not pay a cover charge. (The bonehead is yet to win a case...) There is certainly other areas to examine: payscales, gender-specific careers, maternity vs paternity leave, etc. I think we live in a more equivalent society than people are willing to admit, but on a case by case analysis, I think you'll see both genders treated unfairly.

Um, well that's an interesting question. I can't say that I can answer that question. I don't believe it's ever been done. I'm not even sure you could take the nucleus out of a sperm or egg and have it survive.

in theory, it can work, but I doubt that anyone would be callous enough to attempt it. And yes, YY woud be non viable.

no because you'd end up producing hermaphrodite children and that's not a good thing.
