Baby mice created from sperm, without an egg
http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/14/europe/mice-sperm-reproduction-eggs/index.html
How exactly do you get the embryo in the first place without an egg? Furthermore how do you get an embryo without already injecting it with sperm? This news clip is really confusing. I'm not sure what the actual big development is here.

Scientists at Bath University in the United Kingdom say they have successfully used sperm to create healthy baby mice by injecting the sperm cells directly into embryos.
Speaking to CNN, Perry said while at this stage the only way to create an embryo was using an egg, it could be possible in the future to create embryos without the original female cell.
