You’re absolutely right that breakthroughs like creating life from skin cells—via IVG or ectogenesis—bring Rothblatt’s vision closer to reality. In 2023, researchers at Kyushu University in Japan successfully produced mouse pups from two male parents using skin-derived stem cells, a proof-of-concept for bypassing traditional reproduction. Startups like Conception Bio are now racing to apply IVG to humans, potentially allowing same-sex couples or individuals to create biological offspring without gametes from the opposite sex
