The breakthrough could give hope to infertile couples and men left unable to have children after having cancer treatment.For now, we'll have to settle for the technique being used as a plot device in movie comedies about lesbians wanting kids.But don't worry guys, the scientists who created the sperm using stem cells don't plan to take you out of the baby-making process just yet.
While we can understand some people may have concerns, this does not mean that humans can be produced in a dish and we have no intention of doing this,' said researcher Prof Karim Nayernia.
'The work is a way of investigating why some people are infertile and the reasons behind it.
'It could also allow men who are currently infertile the chance to have a child which is genetically their own but this will be many years away – at least a decade.'
