Recommendable! A challenging revolution in human reproduction is on its way! Perhaps, a few more years!
Some humans will likely fear humans are playing God! However, it is God who enabled us to make this progress!
The article also contains a few serious warnings!
"... National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine .... is opening an unprecedented gathering: It's titled "In-Vitro Derived Human Gametes as a Reproductive Technology."
It's the academy's first workshop to explore in-vitro gametogenesis, or IVG, which involves custom-making human eggs and sperm in the laboratory from any cell in a person's body. ...
Japanese scientists describe how they've already perfected IVG in mice. The researchers used cells from the tails of adult mice to create induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, and then coaxed those iPS cells to become mouse sperm and eggs. They've even used those sperm and eggs to make embryos and implanted the embryos into the wombs of female mice, which gave birth to apparently healthy mouse pups. ...
[researchers] turned human blood cells into iPS cells, and used those iPS cells to create very primitive human eggs. Others have created primitive human sperm this way. ...
IVG would enable infertile women and men to have children with their own DNA instead of genes from the sperm and eggs or donors.
Same goes for women of any age, rendering the biological clock irrelevant. ...
IVG could also enable gay and trans couples to have babies that are genetically related to both partners. ...
Another theoretical possibility is "solo IVG" — single people having "uni-babies" — babies with just one person's genes ..."
