Tonight at dinner with BioMom the FYO asked
Mom, does it take a man to raise me?
Biomom: Do you mean does it take a man to make you?
FYO: Yeah.
Biomom: Yeah. Where did you learn about that?
FYO: It was in a book that I read at school.
After that, the FYO abruptly changed the topic.

Actually thats no longer true. Cloning currently transplants genetic info into an unfertilized egg, which then divides and grows into a clone of the original. So if the FYO already existed it would no longer take a man to make another copy of her (excepting the fact that it would likely be a male scientist doing the cloning :)). So maybe you could argue it only takes sperm to create an original child...and us males have a monopoly on its production for the moment... But maybe this is a bit much for even the precocious FYO to digest? Naw...
