Volunteer Cuddlers will be in top demand in a decade or two, should certain scientific breakthroughs develop. In Sept. 2016 issue of Tomorrows World, there was an article about scientists at the University of Bath who discovered a method for creating offspring without the need for a female egg.
They use skin cells. This is being conducted with mice right now. Ten, twenty years down the line, they may be ready to produce human beings in the same way.
You do understand they still use someone’s egg, unless you are speaking of actual cloning. I don’t know which study, but reproduction is only healthy when two gamete sources are used.
Hmmmm Will the baby have a soul?
