"Scientists create mice with two fathers after making eggs from male cells"
Quote"Scientists then manipulated the cells in a way to copy the remaining X chromosome, and create a cell with two X genes - what would usually be considered a female cell. 'The biggest trick of this is the duplication of the X chromosome,' Dr Hayashi said.
They turned those cells into eggs and used sperm from male mice to fertilize them in the laboratory. The process led to the birth of more than a half-dozen healthy mice pups.
Dr Hayashi told the New Scientist he believes the door is now open to children being born from two fathers. Now, his team hopes to replicate this same process with human cells. 'Purely in terms of technology, it will be possible [in humans] even in 10 years,' he told The Guardian.

I think this is another huge blow to traditional human social/cultural structure, it seems sooner than I would expect. (Sooner than artificial womb)
引用“科学家用男性细胞制造出卵子，创造出两个父亲的老鼠” “科学家们随后操纵这些细胞，复制剩下的X染色体，创造出一个有两个X基因的细胞——通常被认为是一个女性细胞。‘这其中最大的技巧是X染色体的复制，’林博士说。
他们把这些细胞变成卵子，并用雄性老鼠的精子在实验室里受精。这个过程导致了七只以上健康的小老鼠的诞生。
林博士告诉《新科学家》杂志，他相信现在已经打开了两个父亲生孩子的大门。现在，他的团队希望用人类细胞复制这个过程。‘纯粹从技术上讲，在10年内（对人类）也是可能的，’他告诉《卫报》。“
我认为这是对传统的人类社会/文化结构的又一次巨大冲击，它似乎比我预期的要早。（比人造子宫还早）
