Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital say they have extracted stem cells from human ovaries and made them generate egg cells. The advance, if confirmed, might provide a new source of eggs for treating infertility, though scientists say it is far too early to tell if the work holds such promise.

(They would still need a "surrogate mother" to carry the embryo.)
The article says that the current research uses stem cells from women's ovaries to create the egg, but once they develop the technique, they will be able to use any stem cell (e.g., from the skin).
When they learn how to turn stem cells into sperm cells, then lesbian couples will also be able to have genetic children.
This means that soon male homosexual couples will be able to have genetic children, if a stem cell of one male is used to create an egg.

Then maybe I'll be impressed.
Somewhere Aldus Huxley shakes his head in disgust, having seen this all before...
Women are currently needed for the process. But eventually they will be able to use any stem cell.
Massachusetts General Hospital must have some very evil researchers, to have such a low regard for life ...
They look forward to the day when they get to decide which of us are Alphas, Betas, Deltas and “Epselons”. I’m thinking they lean heavily in that direction.

That's when God comes down and says, "Ok everybody, out of the pool!"
That’s going to be a very, very expensive treatment. Only the very rich would be able to afford that.
Matter of scale/volume. Once Asprin was only for those who had the means as well. Eventually and rapidly it will get the Henry Ford treatment.

HA! Until its mandated as a new right by a future leftist gubment.

Science is not God. Science can be used for evil as well as for good. This is evil. Evil science such as this should be illegal. Purely evil.
And further into the bottomless moral abyss we speak. I never underestimate the liberals, for they can always sink lower. A child born without a biological mother or father is heartbreaking.
Ian Malcolm in Jurrasic Park Scientists spend to much time asking “Can we...?” when they should be asking “Should we?”
Re: surrogate mother
I bet somewhere in a lab there are scientists who are working to produce an artificial birthing tank or a stem cell produced equivilent to a uterus so that human birth mothers aren’t needed.
And it’s obvious that you wouldn’t want to use just any old stem cell donor. You’d want to cull out those whose DNA showed recessive genes or inheirited medical problems like sickle cell anemia, Marfans Syndrome, insanity, obesity and other problems.
Step by step we arrive at the goal of producing a Master Race on a production line. All in the name of scientific curiousity/inquiry.
Obamacare will provide it free to lesbians, muslims and "ACORN" clients. White Christians and Jews will be deselected.
Thanks Dajjal.
