Scientists at the Oregon Health and Science University have made a groundbreaking discovery that could revolutionise fertility treatment. They claim to have created early-stage human embryos using DNA extracted from bodily cells other than those of the biological mother. This new technique could potentially allow eggs to be made from male skin cells, opening up possibilities for same-sex couples. The process is still in its early stages and further research is needed to perfect it. Experts are hopeful that this breakthrough could benefit women of advanced maternal age or those who have undergone chemotherapy, which can affect the viability of their eggs.
