Lab-grown sperm and eggs just a few years away, scientists say
SMRTR summary
Scientists are nearing the ability to create human eggs and sperm from skin or blood cells in labs. This breakthrough, called in-vitro gametogenesis (IVG), could allow anyone to have biological children regardless of fertility or age. Prof Katsuhiko Hayashi predicts viable lab-grown human sperm within seven years. IVG could potentially enable same-sex couples to have biological children and extend women's fertility window, though safety concerns remain.
