USA (bbabo.net), - Scientists have learned how to create eggs and sperm in the laboratory, so "soon no parents will be needed," writes the British newspaper The Guardian.

“Scientists have made significant strides in growing eggs and sperm in the laboratory. The ultimate goal is to take adult skin cells, convert them into "induced pluripotent stem cells" that have the ability to turn into other types of cells. And then, using a cocktail of chemicals, to achieve the transformation of these cells into eggs or sperm cells. Scientists have already achieved success in mice, producing healthy babies, ”the publication says.

“Theoretically, a female skin cell could be used to produce sperm and vice versa. There is growing confidence that this will eventually be possible, and there are already companies such as the US-based Conception looking to bring the latest advances to the clinic,” the paper points out.

We add that in the West, laws on fertility are being discussed when editing genes and growing eggs in the laboratory.
