Babies may one day be born from embryos made with skin cells rather than eggs, according to scientists, a possibility that could transform not only efforts to save endangered animals but also human fertility treatment. Imagine that you could take skin cells and make embryos from them? The potential to use skin cells instead of eggs remains highly speculative for now. An embryo could even be made by merging a skin cell with sperm from the same man. Perry said his group hoped to study the potential for skin cells to replace eggs in future research.
