Didja know some animals don't have to have a mate to give birth. It's called Parthenogenesis. Would humans be better off pathenogenesising?

Some animals can choose to mate or not and still give birth. Among them are

Australian Prickly Stick Insect
Sawfish
Pythons
Pit Vipers
Lizards..although strictly speaking they usually go it alone.
The offspring of those who employed that "method" are always female. So if parthogenesis were used by all living things males would disappear.

    Genetic diversity is what puts us humans above Australian prickly stick insects so I don't think Parthenogenesis would be very beneficial  or very fun for the human race I had a little chuckle and a little chill thinking about what the World would be like if Donald Trump was capable of Parthenogenesis. Cheers and happy weekend!
