Infertility due to the absence of gametes is one of the last frontiers in reproductive medicine. Sperm or oocyte donation is currently the only treatment option but this approach lacks the genetic contribution of both partners. Artificial production of gametes through haploidization may offer an alternative strategy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of producing artificial oocytes and zygotes with correct chromosome number.
