Topic Reading-Vol.1624-9/21/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Making babies without eggs may be possible, say scientists
A bit confusing. But some day in the distant future, a man could have a child of his own, or two men could be the parents of a child. These are not-so-unrealistic possibilities when a man’s sperm are tricked to fertilize normal eggs of a man or himself. This means men can have babies without women’s eggs.
UK scientists succeeded in producing mice from genuine sperm and fake embryos which were produced from unfertilized embryo. Those mice are healthy and capable of reproducing their offspring. The entire process didn’t require a woman’s egg.
Is this something beyond what humans should or could do?
Enjoy reading and thinking what the families will be like a half century from now.
