Stem cells: the future of science explained

What if making babies didn’t require sperm or eggs? In this video see the cutting-edge technology that could revolutionise how we treat infertility, and transform medicine altogether.
We speak to LSE Professor Emily Jackson to understand this rapidly developing new science and the ethical and legal questions that surround embryo models.
"Developmental biology is raising issues that are just as significant as AI, where the social, ethical, legal, cultural implications are just as important, and we need social scientists to be thinking about those."
Scientists are using induced pluripotent stem cells to create organoids, model diseases, and potentially generate sperm and eggs from skin cells, offering hope for those facing infertility. Discover how breakthroughs in stem cell research, CRISPR, and regenerative medicine are transforming our understanding of biology and medicine, and what this means for the future of IVF, and human development.
