some interesting ethical questions



I wonder if they could get around this by using a de-nucleated somatic cell from the father. Then there would only be two "parents". The obvious scientific issue would then be if the transplanted nucleus is sufficient for embryogenesis, or does it require maternal cytoplasmic factors. Pretty sure others have already shown that the later is not required
That is rather peculiar, and a good question. I can hunt down one of my genetics proffs, want me to do it?
