this news is so great!
nice to know that there's a new glimmer of hope for couples with fertility troubles and lesbians

anyway, it reminds me this documentary about cloning, a british scientist tried to clone some stell cells from an american guy who was handicaped in order to make the patient regains his mobility.
after months, there was a few divisions and that was all
no "real results"

stem cells are really hard to control, the theory is not really difficult
you can develop whatever you want with a embryonic stem cell (I mean tissues lol)
are they using ES cells or somatic ones?

and yeah, how 2 women will manage to have boys?
I know that it's possible to make manipulation on the X chromosome to insert the sequences which contain the SRY gene but it's experimental too
plus, I guess that it implies to "put down" some genes on the X ... it's confusing
I don't know how to express it in english anyway (I'm thinking about knock-out, knock-in etc etc)
