From Neuroscience:
In a groundbreaking experiment, scientists successfully created baby mice using genetic material from two male mice.
The research, published in the journal Nature, has raised hopes that the technique could eventually be used to help same-sex human couples have biological children. However, the researchers caution that it is still a long way from being applicable to humans, and much more work needs to be done before the technique could be used. According to the lead researcher, Katsuhiko Hayashi of Kyushu University and Osaka University in Japan, the baby mice grew normally and were able to become parents themselves in the usual way.
