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

There’s actually been some fairly successful research put into changing sperm cells into egg cells and eggs into sperm cells.
The last I heard, they were successful with mice and rats but haven’t been given the go ahead to begin testing with human cells yet.

Was trying to look up one of the articles on it but couldn’t find the results because apparently in the last year scientists have managed to create both sperm and egg cells from stem cells. so… wow.
