I'm NOT asking your opinion as to whether it would be right or wrong. This question has nothing to do with any associated ethical or moral issues. This is a pure science question.
If scientists and doctors can do in vitro fertilization with an egg and a sperm, why can't they do it with two sperm or two eggs? Why can't they take the nucleus out of the egg of one woman, and then put it directly into another egg from another woman? Wouldn't it have the same effect as injecting a sperm into an egg? What about removing the nucleus from a donor egg, then replacing it with the nucleus of a sperm from one man, and then fertilizing the resulting egg with the sperm of another man?
Would this work? What factors would make this impossible? Is it possible and it just hasen't been done yet? Has it been done yet, and I just haven't heard about it?
I want educated answers please. Thank you.
