Just like straight couples, many gay men and lesbians are eager to have a genetic relationship with their children. Scientific breakthroughs that can help two people who are committed to having children together-regardless of their sex-are inspiring developments. This is the role of science in our society: to improve the quality of life of all of us and to advance human equality. The upshot: There likely will be a time when reproductive science could create an embryo from the cells of two men or two women.Īnti-gay forces will not want to hear this news, but science will continue to explore it in an attempt to explain biology. Many experiments were required, but tremendous knowledge was gained. Research using primordial germ cells in mice has shown that these cells can be turned into eggs and sperm capable of forming pups (baby mice).

If scientists can figure out how to turn a primordial germ cell that originated from the skin of a man into an egg, could it be fertilized with his partner’s sperm? These are the stem cells that can go on to form either eggs or sperm. Now, researchers at Cambridge University and the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have shown that embryonic stem cells can be programmed to form primordial germ cells. Stem cell research has demonstrated that human skin cells and fibroblasts (a different kind of adult cell) can be turned into embryonic stem cells. However, science is advancing and may ultimately change all of that. They deem it unnatural in the eyes of God. It’s been one of the tenets of anti-gay activists for decades: “Two men can’t have a biological child, and two women can’t have one either.”įor some anti-gay people, that seems to make these relationships somehow wrong, as though any relationship that can’t result in a child should somehow be forbidden.
Throughout history, a child has come from a man and a woman. If you don't get the confirmation within 10 minutes, please check your spam folder.
