Nice one ! :-) Problem is, I guess that the mature sperm cell probably
does not contain telomerase, as this was used during spermatogenesis about
2-4 weeks before ejaculation. In addition the copy number (if present)
would be far too low to affect all cells inthe system. Still, there are
those reports of cervical cancer and its relationship with frequency of
intercourse ........
No, Barani, I suggest you are really marching to the "feminazi" tune in
attempting to demonise the innocent little genetic tadpoles ;-)
