Scientists devise healthy mouse pups from two dads, without female DNA | The application is expected to take a long time in humans, maybe 10 years or more and it is unknown whether the eggs are safe enough to produce (a) baby with two male DNA.

Researchers at Osaka University in Japan announced last year that they managed to develop mouse pups from the DNA of two dads.

What makes it even more interesting is the fact that not only did these pups survive to adulthood, but they were also able to become parents themselves. Subsequently, the cells were nurtured within an organoid created to imitate the environment of a mouse ovary. Following this, sperm from male mice was used for fertilization, and out of 630 embryos implanted into surrogates, seven mouse pups were successfully delivered.
