Pups born from two gay mice

Researchers gave two mating maternal mice the birth of a baby mouse, which was considered a miracle of genetic engineering and hope for people of the same sex.

According to BBCNews, this is considered a significant genetic feat to disrupt reproductive rules. Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted experiments by creating a mouse egg intercourse with an Haploid embryonic stem cell , another type of mouse cell.

Initially, both contained only half the genetic guidelines, so it was not enough to coordinate with each other. Researchers continue to use genetic editing technology to delete three genetic guides, making them compatible. This approach is thought to be easier for two mother mice than two parent mice.

The result was praiseworthy, a pups born from two mother mice, called "Bimaternal" are healthy and have normal fertility.

However, according to scientists, the experiment was unsuccessful when conducted on two dads. The pups in these two father trials died after a few days of birth.

The cause of the experiment comes from scientists trying to find the answer why we have sex. Mammals, including humans, are born through sexual intercourse, needing fertilization between the mother's sperm and her egg. Natural animals like fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds . can be produced alone. Since then, scientists have questioned how to find reproductive rules, understand why mice can be born from parents of the same sex.

Professor Robin Lovell-Badge at the Francis Crick Institute said that this is an important thing, to understand the rule of the mouse has the opportunity to apply to people. Of course, mouse testing is easier.

"We found that Bimaternal mice were born completely healthy and without any defects ," the professor said.

Dr. Teresa Holm, from the University of Auckland, thinks this result could be considered a future opportunity for people of the same sex, although hope is still low. " Of course, this result must still be studied carefully and make sure that the baby is born without any signs of abnormalities in the mental and physical development process ," she said.
