In a scientific milestone, baby mice have been born from eggs made out of male mouse cells, meaning that the offspring have two fathers and no mother.

Researchers from the Osaka University and Kyushu University in Japan described in a new study published in the journal Nature how they successfully changed male cells into eggs.

So perhaps it's the female who will not be needed in the future. Had a classmate who always joked only one Male was needed for every couple hundred females.

No matter how you slice the DNA into sperm or ovum, the opposite DNA would be the exact same as what the single male cell already had.

Basically just an expensive clone.
