A New Way to Make a Baby? Creating Sperm in the Lab
Scientists in the U.K. claim that for the first time they’ve created human sperm from embryonic stem cells. While the advance is a huge scientific leap that could allow infertile men to have children, it also raises ethical concerns. For more on this new step in reproductive biology, The Takeaway turns to Clive Cookson, Science Editor for the Financial Times.
Hockenberry and Udoji, both multiple award-winning journalists, convene critical conversations, take live reports from the field, provide a platform for commentary and analysis, and invite listeners to join the discussion.
