In Vitro Gametogenesis, or IVG, is a process where any cell from a person's body - say a skin cell - can be turned into an egg or a sperm. It doesn't matter whether the cell is from a male or a female.
Reproduction as we've known it for millions of years could look very different in a few decades due to revolutionary science.
There's a new process Japanese researchers have discovered called In Vitro Gametogenesis, or IVG, in which any cell from a person's body, say a skin cell, can be turned into an egg or a sperm. It doesn't matter whether the cell is from a male or a female. "You can take a male skin cell and convert it not to a sperm, but actually to an egg," Adashi said."In other words, imagine two men were unable at this point to father a child that is genetically their own, and with that technology, in principle, they could now be the parents of a genetically-related child."They will, of course, need a surrogate to carry the embryo and the and the pregnancy to term.
There's even talk of the possibility of what scientists are calling"uni-babies" in which a baby is made with just one person's genes.
