This chapter, based on fieldwork and a review of scholarship on IVG and artificial gametes, asks the following question: What does the gap between laboratory research and its media representions say about developing a new biotechnology?
Advances in improving fertility in women through stem cell-based clinical platforms
- 2017
Medicine
In vitro oogenesis has not so far developed beyond the stage of oocyte-like cells whose normal progression to mature oocytes and ability to be fertilized was not proved, and resuming oogenesis in vivo in adulthood still appears a distant hypothesis.
Modelling in vitro gametogenesis using induced pluripotent stem cells: a review
- 2023
Medicine, Biology
Although IVG is still faced with many challenges in terms of technical issues, as well as efficacy and safety, novel IVG methodologies are emerging, and IVG using iPSCs may usher in the next era of reproductive medicine sooner than expected.
Female Fertility Preservation through Stem Cell-based Ovarian Tissue Reconstitution In Vitro and Ovarian Regeneration In Vivo
- 2019
Medicine
The history of work from laboratories around the world focused on improving the understanding of the biology of OSCs and how these cells may be used to reconstitute “artificial” ovarian tissue in vitro or to regenerate damaged ovarian tissues in vivo are overviewed as future fertility-preservation options.
Human embryos from induced pluripotent stem cell-derived gametes: ethical and quality considerations.

Medicine
Current technology, major research-related ethical concerns and proposed norms that would assure the quality and reliability of human preimplantation embryos from induced pluripotent stem cell-derived gametes are discussed.
In Vitro Gametogenesis and the Creation of ‘Designer Babies’
- 2019
Medicine, Biology
It is argued that IVG might facilitate the creation of preference-matched offspring, but this should not undermine the moral acceptability of IVG altogether—even if one concedes the premise that creating ‘designer babies’ is morally problematic.

It is concluded that IVG is preferable to some forms of assisted reproductive technologies in certain instances and substantially more problematic in others, and suggests that its capacity to “perfect” prenatal selection in many ways exacerbates the problematic aspects of increasingly expansive prenatal selection.
Reconstitution in vitro of the entire cycle of the mouse female germ line
- 2016
Biology, Medicine
This report reports successful reconstitution in vitro of the entire process of oogenesis from mouse pluripotent stem cells, thereby reconstituting the full female germline cycle in a dish and providing a platform for elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying totipotency and the production of oocytes of other mammalian species in culture.
Expected advances in human fertility treatments and their likely translational consequences

Medicine
Linking tolerance to implantation is offered, offering evidence that the so-called “implantation window” is likely immunological rather than hormonally defined, and because many here outlined treatment changes will disproportionally benefit older women, they will exert a pronounced effect on society.
