TL;DR Summary

Infertile individuals, as well as gay and transgender couples, are hopeful for advancements in in vitro gametogenesis (IVG), a technology that aims to create eggs and sperm from any cell in the human body. While IVG has not been tested in humans yet, it offers the potential for individuals to have genetically related children, providing a new option for those struggling with infertility or desiring a genetic connection. However, concerns about the ethical implications of IVG, such as the creation of "designer babies" and discrimination against disabled individuals, have also been raised. Despite these concerns, many individuals hope that IVG will become a reality and provide a solution for their desire to have children genetically related to them.
