Nano-dots in Mammalian Gametes Imagining1 The Nano-dots, or Quantum Dots (QD), are nano-scale semiconductor devices with diameter up to 10nm, which were first discovered in 1980s2. Once stimulated, they give emission of light with specific colours, which is then visualised1-3. These nano particles have high size-tunability, once illuminated, different emission wavelength can be obtained by manipulating the size of dots3. Inorganic QDs are made up of two components, an atom-cluster core with…

Some argue yes for this case, saying a woman can take an intrauterine device. She could, but what is inside that device? It contains everything a man would contribute to making a child.
