Same Sex Reproduction: Fatherless and Motherless Babies

Same Sex Reproduction: Fatherless and Motherless Babies

The End of the Biological Binary

Over 2 decades ago I heard something about a baby mouse in Japan who was formed from the chromosomes of two healthy female mice.

 I was in my 20s, living in Tokyo and thought "cool!" ... then got on with my university work and my life.
Then last year in June a team in China announced they had been somewhat successful in doing the same, but with two mice dads!

I wanted to learn more. I'm gay and have considered adoption at some points in life, but this was more intriguing. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to learn. So here we are after a little research. It's early days and there is more to discover, learn and adjust before my guy and I would be able to take advantage. Realistically, it likely won't happen to us, but nevertheless it's exciting and the hope it offers is immense for us in the LGBTQ+ community.
