• Resumen

  • Imagine people are having trouble conceiving only to be told it's because they or their partner don't produce viable sperm. Sometimes genetic mutations are at fault and in these instances a radical treatment could soon be available. The idea is to extract the stem cells that give rise to sperm and correct the mutation. The corrected stem cells would then be implanted back into the man's testes, allowing him to produce healthy sperm and father his own biological child. Here, Le Page discusses male infertility that will get people over genetic red line.
