US scientists create mice from two fathers
WASHINGTON (AFP) – US scientists have used stem cell technology to create mice from two fathers, an advance that they say could help preserve endangered species and even help same-sex couples have their own genetic children one day.

According to the study published Wednesday in the journal Biology of Reproduction, reproductive scientists in Texas were able to manipulate cells from a male (XY) mouse fetus to produce an induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell line.

These iPS cells are adult cells that have undergone some genetic reprogramming in order to enter an embryonic stem cell-like state.

One more step towards making women completely obsolete. Well, at least they still have laundry and house cleaning...for now.

This has obviously been orchestrated by those who sell formula, as such babies would never be able to naturally breastfeed.

What would happen if the child received two Y chromosomes instead of an X and a Y or an X and an X? Or do they modify something so that one of the gametes is an XX instead of an XY?
