Engineering something like a new human race appears underway as science and medicine morph into the Unknown. Single Parent Conception: One person could provide both elements.
Daily Star: “Silicon Valley chiefs are ploughing cash into the science and it could be available within two years, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority board heard last week.

Using genetically re-programmed stem or skin cells…the technology would also allow throuples to have a baby in “multiplex parenting”, same sex pairs to both be biological parents, and remove any age barriers to having a child.
