However, this could soon be about to change. In a stunning breakthrough this week, scientists revealed they've been able to create human eggs from skin cells. The technique opens the possibility for DNA from a man's skin cells being placed inside a donor egg, before being fertilised by another man. In theory, this could allow two men to have a baby, without any DNA from a woman.
A breakthrough was announced last week in the world of fertility science. Scientists took skin cells from a human and used them to make egg cells. Yes, you read that right: skin made an egg. They then fertilised the egg with sperm by IVF and took it to the stage where it could be implanted into a womb.
