"Scientists Successfully Create Mice with Two Fathers Using Skin Cells"

Scientists have successfully created mice with two biologically male parents using eggs generated from the skin cells of male mice. The research could expand the possibilities for future fertility treatments, including for same-sex couples, and help prevent the extinction of endangered animals. However, scientists warn there’s still much to learn before cultured cells can be used to make human eggs in a lab dish. The technique holds promise for conserving endangered species, although it’s not known whether the process in mice would occur in other mammal species. The work raises thorny ethical and legal questions that society needs to start thinking about.
