Researchers at the Northeast England Stem Cell Institute have created human sperm using stem cells from an embryo, claiming that with minor modifications, the sperm could potentially fertilise an egg.

The scientists say that if developed further, the technique could help infertile couples have children that are genetically their own. It may even open up the possibility for women to have babies without men, if sperm can be created from female stem cells.

This is the first time human sperm has been created anywhere in the world in a laboratory.
