But Think On... Hat

According to geneticists,
Fifty years or so from now (they're not sure when)
They'll fuse two human eggs together in a lab
and women won't need men.

(Cue smugness in certain quarters).

According to roboticists,
Fifty years or so from now (that kind of span)
They'll make a robot make a robot in a lab
and robots won't need man.

(Cue unsmugness in uncertain daughters?).
