There is the possibility of a child having multiple genetically-related parents, or only one. It may soon be possible to coax human skin cells into becoming functional eggs and sperm using a technique ...

For the first time, scientists said Thursday that they had bred mice with two genetic fathers, steering around biological hurdles that would otherwise prevent same-sex parents from having offspring.

In the intricate science of reproduction, the creation of offspring has long relied on the union of sperm and eggs, whether naturally or through assisted techniques like in vitro fertilization. Both ...
