      The article discusses research on in vitro embryo formation. Techniques to make sperm and ova from stem cells harvested from the skin or ovaries are described along with the potential use of these techniques in future fertility treatments. Restriction on human embryonic development research under the "14-day" rule is examined along with the development of an artificial womb and its trial use on lambs.
