Another way of creating life?

[Noiako]

Hello all.

With the news about using DNA from skincells and transfering them to an eggcell to use in fighting things like heart disease, I was wondering if it could be used another way. Here is what I was thinking:

You use the method of taking DNA from skincells from person A, remove the DNA in an eggcell from person B and transfer the skincell DNA from person A. Then you fertilize the egg with a spermcell from person C. Would it be possible to create a child using this method (or one similar)? So that child would biological belong to person A and C.

Several things similar to your description have been done, including cloning of sheep and the following.

Very interesting, thank you for the video. I knew about the cloning of sheep, but I was unsure if it would work on humans, and if it could be used for childless couples.

In theory yes, but I would not recommend human cloning, mainly because I am basically ignorant about the process.
