A researcher in the Unites states is examining the possibility of adopting the new vitro gametogenesis (IVG) treatment for human after its successful tests on mice.

The vitro gametogenesis (IVG) is the new frontier for research after the successful usage of IVF for human beings. Professor Sonia Suter from George Washington University is studying the possibility of suing the new technique for human reproduction as well as its ethical and practical implications. This method can seriously help same-sex couples have children biologically related to both partners.IVG is a technique by which, gametes are derived from pluripotent stem cellsor embryonic stem cells. The IVG in humans might allow absolutely new methods of procreation.

Professor Sonia Suter is studying potential benefits and harms of IVG and analysing social, scientific, and legal contexts relating to the treatment. Experts said that the treatment could benefit those who cannot conceive for physical reasons, same-sex couples, postmenopausal women or premenarche girls, and groups of more than two.

Professor Suter, “IVG could play a role in efforts to have a healthy or enhanced child by making prenatal selection much easier and more robust. It could, for example, be used to create many more embryos for preimplantation genetic diagnosis than we can today, vastly refining the ability to select embryos.”
