Curious as to whether or not it was currently viable to extract the DNA 
material from the egg of one female and combine it with that of another 
female to produce a fetus.  Want to know if two women can produce a 
child.  I am familiar with injecting the DNA of immobile or otherwise 
defective sperm into an egg.  If possible to fertilize from one egg to 
another, is it currently being done?  Also wondering if only female 
children would be the result of such a combination.
