Artificial Sperm



Lab-grown sperm raises hope for infertile men


 


SPERM cells have been grown in the laboratory for the first time, raising the prospect of treatment for infertile men, scientists have claimed.

A company in France claims to have successfully turned scraps of genetic material into complete fully-functional sperm, a world-first.

If the breakthrough can be verified, it may prove life-changing for the tens of thousands of men around the world who cannot produce their own sperm.
