Transhumanist Scientists Create Mice With 'Two Dads'

• https://www.technocracy.news by LEO HOHMANN

Researchers in Japan claim to have successfully created eggs using cells from two male mice. What they are claiming is nothing less than the ability to enable two biological human males to reproduce offspring. Woman no longer needed!

The Guardian reports:

"Previously scientists have created mice that technically had two biological fathers through a chain of elaborate steps, including genetic engineering. However, this is the first time viable eggs have been cultivated from male cells and marks a significant advance. [Kyushu University medical sciences professor Katsuhiko Hayashi's] team is now attempting to replicate this achievement with human cells, although there would be significant hurdles for the use of lab-grown eggs for clinical purposes, including establishing their safety."

Despite previous setbacks, Hayashi remains positive humans can soon have two dads.

"Purely in terms of technology, it will be possible [in humans] even in 10 years," Hayashi stated according to The Guardian, adding he'd support the technology later being used by two men to have a baby, but "That is not a question just for the scientific program, but also for [society]."
