As Agence France-Presse reports, a team of Japanese scientists used tail skin cells from two male mice to father a litter of seven babies. The research builds on the team's prior studies in which they were able to make eggs out of skin cells from a single female mouse and subsequently bring to term a litter of healthy mice "pups."
[...]
While this is undoubtedly a big achievement, the process has only had a one percent success rate, given that out of 630 attempts, only seven mice were born. What's more: only about six percent of the initial male mice cells were even able to lose one of their X chromosomes in the first place.
[...]
Still, this research represents a major milestone that could one day lead to gay male couples being able to have biological children together.
Gonen said that eventually, this process could be used for a single man to provide both the egg and the sperm for a child, which would be "a bit more like cloning, like what they did with Dolly the sheep."
The Israeli scientist said that if she were to wager a guess, this technology would be ready for human use in the ballpark of ten to 15 years.
This reminds me a few years back 7-8 years iirc when feminists were celebrating the idea of female eggs being used to produce a female mouse or some such vermin.
Seems the shoe is on the other foot! *snigger*
