Three regions, those involved with genetic imprinting, were removed from a haploid embryonic stem cell with the use of genetic editing from CRISPR/Cas9. This edited stem cell from one female mouse was then put into the egg of another female mouse. This procedure using genetic editing to remove genetic imprinting from haploid embryonic stem cells that were then transferred from one female mouse into the egg of another female mouse resulted in the birth of healthy female mice having the DNA of two biological female parents.
Haploid embryonic stem cells having only a male parent's DNA were modified to delete seven key imprinted regions. The edited haploid embryonic stem cells were then injected—along with sperm from another male mouse into an egg cell that had its female genetic material removed with the removal of the egg's nucleus. This resulted in an embryo containing only genomic DNA from the two male parents. This bi-paternal DNA crafted embryo was then transferred along with placental material to a surrogate mother who successfully carried the 2-dad mouse fetus to full term and birth.

If bi-maternal or bi-paternal offspring of mice can be produced, then it seems within the realm of possibility that the bi-maternal or bi-paternal offspring of other mammalian species, like say bi-maternal or bi-paternal humans could be produced.
What if this technique of genetic editing to remove genetic imprinting from haploid embryonic stem cells of a man that are then transferred into an enucleated oocyte with the sperm of another man; then were to result in a bi-paternal fetus developing in a surrogate mother's womb where after full embryonic development, a viable bi-paternal baby is born?
Well, of course, this would mean that 2 gay lovers could have a biologically child together with the shared DNA of each man from this gay couple?
Would that be immoral for a child to have the DNA of two fathers, but no DNA from a mother?
