So this is not an embryo with DNA from both female parents, right? It was not.
-
No, it was standard IVF by a sperm downer, the historic first referenced in the title is that they are the first married lesbian couple in South Korea to birth a child.

I've clearly been reading too much Sci-fi. That's exactly where my brain went.

Whatever Korean is for Mazel Tov, I wish them that.

According to Google Translate, it's 축하합니다

I'm confused why is this historic I'm positive this has happened before. Why would the sexual orientation have anything to do with whether or not IVF would work.
I don't get it.

The article isn't about a scientific advancement, but a discussion of the limits on human rights in South Korea. "While South Korea has not yet legalised same-sex marriage, and sperm banks in the country are only accessible to heterosexual married couples, the pair were able to tie the knot in New York in 2019, and receive IVF treatment in Europe."

I'm all for IVF but it should be second to adoption.
-
Better idea: raise all children in a creche until they're 10, then have couples draft them like a fantasy football team.
-
Would that mean all the worst parents would draft first?

I want to moneyball that bitch. Get twenty kids whose expected value is higher than their sale value. While you yuppies will be bankrupt buying one genius kid I will have twenty smart kids for the same price turning out code and content.

Do you know how complicated and long an adoption process is? Sure, it would be awesome if people adopted kids instead of making more, but adoption will not be a viable option for most people until that mess is somved.
