No. You failed to understand. An egg is created from a male XY chromosome foubd in the DNA, the skin cell then is used as an incubator of the egg created from said X part of the XY male chromosome. Women are not needed in any capacity at all for having children anymore . That is the breakthrough. Artificial wombs have been in development for many decades, as well. This is nothing new and it has been simply perfected now. Research.
I have failed to understand nothing. I was not speaking conception, I was speaking gestation, cell recombination to created an embryo is 1 thing, the biological intricacies, finesse, and convolution, of a placenta, is far beyond the current science.

Let alone the implications of a LJ embryo reaching term, without inclusion of the vast number of hormonal, antibacterial, and immunological systems that are assumed during the process of gestation.

Again as I said, implant is critical to the process, my question is, will they push the frontier and use an ape, pig, cow.. or do you think they have maybe managed to create a synthetic egg?

If the idea wasn't so abhorrent to me, from a medical, let alone theological position, id be interested.. and more than a little bemused, to see them hatch a child. Alien has now morphed to Mork and Mindy.
I have no words. Mankind is working overtime to devise their evil plans everyday.
There seems to be hard work underway which is directed towards the implicit goal of separating Women and Men completely from each other and artificially creating (at least two) different self-reliant species to take their place. Alas, that is a winning combination of genetic and social engineering - Brave New World at its best!

You seem confused truly. This would still be a standard run of the mill male or female born. You seem to not grasp the news. How is this evil? You have no answer,zealot.
Children are female born, not male born. The latter is a natural impossibility. What you overlook is that this is an extension of an unnatural change that only denigrates our created humanity. The natural creation of life is a primary work of humanity; the raising of life is an extension of it.

Fully false. The egg can be created fully from the male genetic material, since males have the X part of the XY chromosome. Women only have the X, 2 of them. The X in men allows to create the egg, whilst the Y part is how we produce semen. You ignore proven fact that eggs are now created from male genetics fully. Women no longer need to carry an embryo to term either, it can be done in an external setting. Hence, literally, no womb nor egg needed from the female body at all. Male genetics and male ingeniuty yet agsin has proven progress. No need to be butthurt about the prospect of it, Jess. It is what it is, how is this any of your concern. Pissed that men no longer need women to get children?

"unnatural change" -- get off your high horse. You are using electricity, a smartphone, internet, cars, ovens,fridges, make-up, Tvs, computers, synthetically processed and fertililized food and clothing. Men created all this, you as a woman use it. It is all unnatural"..so stop using it ,hypocrit
You have zero counterarguments. Just empty shaming tactics, yawn.

You're reading a lot into my comment that isn't there. Detaching childbirth from the womb of the mother has a million negative implications with very few payoffs. I don't think giving gay men a chance to have a baby that looks like both of them is a good enough reason to twist nature like this. It's also a very superficial reason. It's likely being framed as a gay rights issue so that the researchers can smooth over the obvious abomination that is the artificial womb.
False. Every human has a drive to want biologic kids, even gays. Every person will prefer it if given a chance. This is more natural rather than not, the progress of technology as a tool to achieve it. You are just scared shi***less, as a woman, seeing that women are obsolete as far as their womb and egg goes. Both can now be gotten from the male body and developed in a lab. There are no downsides to external wombs, stop lying. The plus sides are a more stable risk and stress free environment in fact. Research on it. Your base instinct is in overdrive as a woman. But women now will have to provide something to men worth their time aside from sex( A.I. sexbots ,or hook-up culture even, prostitution,porn etc) , their egg or womb. However women will need some man's sperm if they want to get pregnant. So a woman needs to now flex her muscles on being worth a man's time personality, brains and looks wise. But that isn't men's problem really.

Oh brother. Here we go, drama queens calling progress evil. Salem witch trials all over again

Your psychotic serial killer! You prowl about Brittany's channel daily looking for approval with your narcissistic critiques & opinions. Yet you learn NOTHING from the amazing Brittany. Interesting.

If scientists could take a male skin cell and transfer that DNA to an egg, why couldn't they take a female skin cell and transfer that DNA to a sperm, thereby making men unneeded in the reproductive process as well? They could grow unlimited amounts of human beings in the laboratory, free of parents. Even genetically modify them to be whatever they wanted. If you can't see the downsides to the artificial womb, you're probably about 12-years-old. Read "Brave New World." You can find an audiobook of it on Youtube.

Daily? Lol. Not even close. Every other day I do try to stay up to date. It'scalled staying up to date on news. And when I see faulty logic,I indeed speak up. When I see people not knowing definitions of words,as you seem to not to,I indeed speak up. Both online and offline. You never have any counterarguments, what is the meritbin your reply here exactly? None, bunch of predictable NPC behavior, ad hominems,nothing else. When I see people calling things "evi" for no other reason than homophobia, I point it out.
You are lucky you don't tell me this face to face, you would have been in court and sued for slander And you'd be paying heavy restitution,by law. Calling someone a killer, you'd be paying me for life for that if I heard it in person and knew who you were. You seem to feel mightily butthurt that I ruin your little echo chamber here by interjecting science or stats or logic. Boo hoo, cry me a river,Dave.

Because they tried, and it doesn't work. You really haven't looked into this or how any of this actually works? Men have an XY chromosome, both men and women start out as female in the womb initially. Men still have the X in the chromosome, which allows for the egg to be created from male DNA. Women have no Y In the chromosome though, hence you can never create any sperm from female DNA. This is lego blocks simplicity, hope that answers it. Men got both parts of the equation in their genetics, women do not.
