Scientists in Texas have created baby mice from two males, which raises the possibility that double father offspring could someday repopulate vulnerable species. This advance could even help same-sex human couples have children carrying both parents' genes. The researchers first cloned a mother mouse from a male. The female carried the male DNA then mated with another male. Therefore, the offspring had the same genes from two males. The authors of the study called their findings "a new form of mammalian reproduction" and suggested that "it may also be possivle to generate sperm from a female donor and produce viable male and female progeny with two mothers."
I think these advances in science and biology are pretty amazing. It'll definitely help same-sex marriages become the norm in the US and Canada, which to me is a good thing.
