Mirror.co.uk - Male infertility can be passed on to children
I found the headline to be funny and so I had to check it out. Here is a quote:
A technique that allows infertile men to have children can transfer the cause of the problem to their children but it doesnot generate any new genetic defects, scientists say.

ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is a treatment for male infertility in which a single sperm is injected into the egg. It has enabled menwith low sperm counts or poor quality sperm to father children.

So what the article says but does not really say (read between the lines) is that when we play God, we do not do a very good job of it! Think about it.
