Lab Produces Monkeys With 2 Mothers

Wow, this is just going to open up a whole can of worms. One common objection to homosexual marriage has been centered on procreation and the inability of same sex couples to do it. So what become of that particular argument when science makes actual procreation (i.e. actual genetic recombination) between same sex partners a real possibility?

I suspect we’re years or even decades away from achieving this with humans, though you can never really be sure with science. Of course, it’s almost certainly a moot point. I think it’s very likely that, much like the embryonic stem cell situation, we’re going to face extremely harsh resistance long before it ever becomes practical.
