A breakthrough dubbed 'holy grail' of fertility research may be able to start the trend of single parent conception as babies of the future may be born to one person


People could soon be able to have a sprog entirely on their own using lab-grown sperm and eggs.

It means one person could provide both elements using genetically re-programmed stem or skin cells.

The technology would also allow throuples to have a baby in "multiplex parenting", same sex pairs to both be biological parents, and remove any age barriers to having a child.


Boffins are making such rapid strides in the field that the UK's fertility watchdog is now urgently considering different ways people may wish to procreate.

But they are facing a bucketload of ethical dilemmas.

In-vitro gametes (IVGs) - lab-grown eggs or sperm from skin or stem cells - are the "holy grail" of fertility research.

Silicon Valley chiefs are ploughing cash into the science and it could be available within two years, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority board heard last week.

Its chair Julia Chain was so astounded by the progress and radical opportunities that she declared: "It feels like we ought to have Steven Spielberg on this committee."

HFEA boss Peter Thompson said in-vitro gametes could "provide new fertility treatment options for men with low sperm counts and women with low ovarian reserve."

But having a baby alone could mean much higher risks of genetic disorders, experts warned.

When two biological parents are involved there are two copies of every gene, providing a safe back-up for a child.

That would not be the case if one person provided both the lab-grown sperm and the egg.

Frances Flinter, emeritus professor of clinical genetics at King's College London, warned the meeting. "In a way, it's the complete extreme of incest. And that is why it is so dangerous."

Mr Thompson agreed: "Biologically dangerous use of IVGs in treatment should never be permitted."

Like the song says:

"You won't need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube"

Predicted by Zager & Evans in 1969.

 
A scientist made a clone of himself. Something went wrong during the process and the clone turned out to be a very hateful person who ran around the lab spewing expletives and cursing up a storm. The scientist tried to subdue the clone. During the struggle the clone fell out the window and plunged to his death.

The scientist was arrested and charged with

Making an obscene clone fall.
 
We can add this to the long list of technological advances that get unleashed on the world before the issues of whether and how the technology should be used are considered. As a species we still haven't learned much from our past problems with tech abuse/disasters.
