If this technology is commercialized, it will be possible to create eggs from skin cells without the painful collection of eggs from women, allowing for artificial fertilization procedures. This could reduce women's physical burden and expenses, and theoretically, same-sex parents could each have children bearing their own genetic traits. Additionally, the ability to create multiple embryos at once increases the chances of filtering out embryos with genetic diseases through pre-implantation testing.
So it's all downsides?
