In A World First, US Scientists Created Fertilizable Human Eggs By Swapping A Donor Egg’s Nucleus With One From A Skin Cell, Using “Mitomeiosis” To Cut 46 Chromosomes To 23. 82 Eggs Formed; Some Reached Blastocysts But Weren’t Cultured Further For IVF. Many Embryos Were Abnormal. This Could Help Infertility and Gay Couples, But Trials Loom.

Scientists created the eggs using DNA from adult skin cells, a step that could someday potentially lead to new ways to treat infertility and enable gay couples to have genetically related children.
