Well the only clinically significant scenario I can think for this kind of thing is for homosexual partners to reproduce with 50% of the genetic material coming from each partner. Right now one partner contributes 50% of the genetic material and the other partner doesn't get to contribute anything.
And creating perfect humans and cloning them in artificial wombs sounds beyond the scope of science at this point. The paper I posted could lead to offspring now (viable or perhaps so epigenetically modified they are doomed -although a germ cell undergoes some demodification in the ovary's environment).
It wasn't supposed to be an alternative future for humans (such as perfect humans), although I could see a total female society having less anti-social personality disorders and less violent crime.
