Some thoughts: > We can take skin cells, turn them into stem cells, and turn those into viable eggs. How accurate of a copy of the parent's genetic material is this likely to be, compared to a naturally-produced gamete? Skin being the exterior organ that forms the body's first line of defense, it is subject to constant attacks and damage from without. As an example, the amount of accumulated genetic damage from sunburns is going to increase as a person grows older. So then, for this to be used on humans, would not the ideal place to take skin from be someplace that gets infrequent sun exposure, like say, the buttocks or thighs? > These technologies enable an unprecedented advance in the precision and throughput of this process and it seems very likely we will be able to do this in humans in 10-15 years. If it's available in 10-15 years, it probably won't be available to me and my partner, but it (or perhaps something better) may be available to any future children when they are ready to have children of their own. Something to keep an eye on.
