Well hope it can cut the grass, fix a leaky toilet or shxits gonna fly.British scientists at Newcastle wrote about creating synthetic sperm in the journal "Stem Cells and Development". It was reported in Science or SciAm. They said it''ll take a few years before they have it perfected.

Women don't have a Y chromosome. Women have an XX pair, while men have XY pair. A defective Y would only affect men.
Ordinarily. lol Although some "men" I have doubts about. Are you suggesting that I was wrong or something? Men with Y chromasomes that have shed a couple genes can reproduce, you know. It's just that they'll likely have girls as offspring.
No- I actually think someone told me they got it off some comedian on the Ed Sullivan show. It was when I first started working for the Gov't. about 1964.
"Y chromosomes with defective male-specific genes, especially those involved in sperm production, are unlikely to reproduce and pass on those genes to their sons, which knocks highly defective chromosomes out of the gene pool. Genetic changes that do not favor reproduction are likely to get weeded out of the system."
So I am wrong.
Men with defective Y's have problems fathering children of both sexes. Their daughters are normal, but their sons will inherit their father's fertility problems. Mutated badly enough and the man is sterile and they can't father children of either sex, due to low sperm production.

Well, me too, in a sense. I said they'd be more likely to have girls, which isn't necessarily true. The girls will more likely to be normal than the boys.
