Why isnt it viable to combine two “male” sperm cells together in an empty egg cell(ovum) to generate a viable embryo artificially?

Question

Considering that we used one 23Y and one 23X (Or two 23X) sperm cells to avoid a 46YY genotype,why wouldnt it work?

Answer 1

The ELI5 answer is that the contents of the ovum are necessary for a viable zygote to form following fertilization. Sperm doesn’t contribute much besides the raw genetic code, everything else that is needed is in the ovum.
