Scientists breed ovums cells from dead blood

American startup Conception is trying to shuffle the reproduction
cards. If he achieves his goals by successfully developing an ovum
using donated blood, it will allow same-sex couples or even single
gay men to have a child genetically related to their parents,
according to the newspaper Le Temps (https://bit.ly/3bzl4sx).
The company, called Conception, is primarily concerned with the
formation of replacement oocytes in women resorting to in vitro
fertilization. "This is an obvious market," MIT comments in
Technology Review. But Conception also intends to embryo all
blood cells, regardless of the gender of the donor. Conception
understands which direction it is heading, as evidenced by the
argument sent this year that its "artificial ovums" will enable"
large-scale genomic selection and embryo modification." Asked about
this at MIT, Matt Krisiloff said the ability to "largely rule out
Parkinson's or Alzheimer's" is desirable. At the annual meeting of
the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, held last week in
Baltimore, Stanford University bioethicist and law professor Henry
Greeley pleaded with the artificial ovums sector players not to rush
forward with their research. Meanwhile, he estimates that it will
take 15 years for this technology to become widespread, sums up
Le Temps.
