When will the first human baby from stem cell-derived gametes be born?
Metaculus, August 19, 2019
Abstract
In the future, it could be possible to derive gametes from human embryonic pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). This differentiation could help study human gametogenesis and allow offspring with a genetic relation to both parents for infertile and same-sex couples. The question is asked: “When will the first human baby from stem cell-derived gametes be born?” The question will resolve positively once the announcement is made in one of the following media outlets: The New York Times, The Financial Times, The Washington Post, The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, The Associated Press, Reuters, or the BBC. – AI-generated abstract.
