A comment on Science Is Getting Us Closer To The End of Infertility. Parent comment
IVF: Seems logically sound, since it is doing the same thing that happens in natural conception, just outside the body.
But in vitro gametogenesis (IVG)—the technique the article talks about—could logically have similar issues to cloning.
For example, telomere shortening & accumulated DNA damage come to mind, but I'm no expert.
