They created nothing. They extracted it at best. It's like saying you created Oxygen after applying a current to water.

That, coupled with the fact that they created a living embryo by using material harvested from a dead one...

If that isn’t sick I don’t know what is.

Stem cells, by their nature, given the circumstances, can change into any type of cell.

As per the BBC video report, the scientists managed to induce the stem cells to split their chromosome pairs into two halves, grow a tail each, and the acrosomal caps.

The ‘achievement’ here, is to produce the circumstances artificially to make the stem cells follow a path that will lead them to become sperm cells.
