    Not specifically for trans people, more for infertility in general as well as avoiding menopause, but yeah it's been a major field of research. Same-sex gestation of mice has already been done. There are some difficulties with humans but much of the groundwork was done with some related medical procedures using mitochondrial DNA from a third party in an embryo.

    Honestly they could probably do it now if they weren't concerned with experimental ethics. There are also some valid societal ethics concerns, since this makes designer babies possible by default since you have to select the embryo to implant and genetic testing was done prior. And then you have the possibility of non-consensual donors, etc...

      I always found that weird about regular sperm donation. Like an Olympic athlete or scientist's sperm is more valuable. Like you're hoping your kid just gets born an ubermensch.
