Scientists have created mice with two biological fathers by generating eggs from male cells, a development that opens up radical new possibilities for reproduction.
The advance could ultimately pave the way for treatments for severe forms of infertility, as well as raising the tantalising prospect of same-sex couples being able to have a biological child together in the future.
“Purely in terms of technology, it will be possible [in humans] even in 10 years,” he said, adding that he personally would be in favour of the technology being used clinically to allow two men to have a baby if it were shown to be safe.
Researchers have been working towards this feat for years. In 2018, one team reported using embryonic stem cells made from sperm or eggs to generate pups with either two fathers or two mothers. The pups with two mothers survived to adulthood and were fertile; those with two fathers lived for only a few days1.

Scientists Create Mice With Two Fathers After Making Eggs From Male Cells
Oh great.
As if Women's value to the Human Species isn't already on unstable footing, the misogyny continues.
Praise Science!
No way this could go wrong further down the line.

Well, Ladies....it seems our future is nothing more than becoming a walking womb.
Joy and Awe.
Oh, Brave New World!
