"Scientists Have Bred Live Mice with No Need for ..." Topic

…Fertilized Eggs.

"For the first time ever, scientists have produced live mice without a fertilized egg cell. The potentially revolutionary technique could one day allow gay men to produce biological offspring, or—even more radically—allow both men and women to self-fertilize.
Researchers from the University of Bath injected sperm directly into a modified, inactive mouse embryo. The resulting mice appeared to be normal, and were even able to reproduce. The new study, published in Nature Communications, challenges nearly two centuries of conventional wisdom, showing that it's possible to produce healthy mammalian offspring without first having to fertilize an egg.

In 1827, biologist Karl Ernst Ritter von Baer became the first scientist to knowingly observe mammalian eggs (in dogs), concluding that all animals develop from eggs. This has largely informed our understanding of reproduction ever since, and until now, no one has been able to show that any cell other than an egg cell can combine with sperm to produce offspring…"

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Yea, Yea, Yea! Big deal. Come back and tell me when they can do it with DEAD mice.

So to get the inactive embryos they started with eggs. And deactivated them…
