Dr. Richard R. Berhinger heads a group of American scientists at the Anderson MD Cancer Research Center in Texas, which has the ability to transform cells taken from a male mouse fetus that carries the XY chromosome to create Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS ).

IPS cells are mature cells that change some genes to become the original fetal cell. Some cells developed from this cell line immediately lost the Y chromosome to become the female chromosome (XO).

XO chromosome cells are implanted in female embryos and introduced into the mother's womb. As a result, maternal mice produced pups bearing an original X chromosome of the male mouse. The female mice grew up to be paired with a normal male mouse that produced female mice and male mice that carried the genes of both dads.

Dr. Richard R. Berhinger confirmed by changing the technique, his team could change female mouse's fluid cells to produce female (both male and female) lines from their mothers.

Mr. Berhinger said that the success of the technique is a step forward that can help gay couples have a common child at some point. However, the application of this technique to humans requires a lot of time.
