Scientists are making effort to perfect "In Vitro Gametogenesis" (IVG) for various and immoral scenarios as respects human reproduction. For example, if IVG for human reproduction is ever perfected, it could mean that 2 gay men could become the donors of the necessary gametes between them for result of an "in vitro fertilization," here the sexual union of an engineered ovum with an engineered spermatazoon. The result would, of course, be a conception (embryo), a human being, that could then be transplanted into the womb of a female (surrogate mother): the child born would be the biological offspring of a sexual union of the 2 males' DNA. The child would have a male for its biological mother. The abominable sin would belong to the child's parents; it would not be charged to the child.
Another scenario is that a lone man could become biologically both the father and mother of his child, which, of course, would require the participation of a capable female as the surrogate mother for birth of the child. And in the case of a female, she could alone become both the father and mother of her child, which need not involve the surrogacy of another female in cases where the biological mother has the maturity of a reproductively capable female. Men's capabilities with their various genetic engineering feats (e.g., CRISPR gene editing) can never result in a sinless (perfect, physically fit for everlasting life) human as the progenitor of a perfect strand of men that might in time supplant weaker, diseased, death-prone families of men. It was not God's purpose that Jesus become the father of perfect humans so that they might then eventually supplant sinful families of men. No, but God so loved the world of sin-inheriting offspring of Adam that he transferred the life of his Son into the womb of a virgin Jewess for him to become the one whose death could substitute for the deaths of as many imperfect/sinful men as would accept Jesus' death in their behalf.
Scientists working with In Vitro Gametogenesis (IVG) aspire to combine that discipline with CRISPR genetic engineering for the production of a perfect (physically fit for everlasting life) genome so that then the result would soon enough be a perfected race of men all members of which might live forever. Can such a thing occur? Not according to Job 14:4 where we read: “Who can produce someone clean from someone unclean? No one can!”
It is reasonable, then, to believe that Adam’s and Eve’s guilty consciences following their rebellion against Jehovah God had a profound epigenetic effect on their genomes for the introduction of a “clock” that soon enough began counting down to biological death of their steadily debilitating bodies, and is a biology passed on to all of us because we have inherited that Adamic sin and its consequence, death (see Romans 5:12, 14). Our genomes have Adamic sin too intractably programmed into them for mere human ingenuity to extirpate it. Science will never become the savior of mankind so that science had shoved aside Jehovah’s legally acquired right—a right based upon the sacrifice of his Son’s perfect human life—for engineering an end to inherited human sinfulness. This will be accomplishment by power of holy spirit at work through the ministrations of his Son whom Jehovah has made to be the Chief Agent of life (Acts 3:15; 5:31; Hebrews 2:10).
How did Jesus qualify for the role of his becoming a perfect human like Adam was before Adam chose to sin against God? It was necessary that God cause his Son to become the miraculous conception of a perfect embryo (Jesus the Nazarene) in the womb of a virgin female (Mary), for Mary was made pregnant apart from the agency of a man's spermatozoon. Yes, as astonishing as men's tinkering with genes has proved to be already, yet men have not done nor will they ever be able to do anything as wonderful as what the Creator did when he created Adam's and Eve's perfect (sinless) genomes; nor can men do any genetic engineering in a human genome that should result in the presence of a perfect man on earth. Even were they to place in a virgin woman's womb her own child and that conception occur apart from the agency of any man's spermatozoon, it would not be sinless as was the case for what God did for the virgin Jewess Mary. No, there is nothing that men can do for eradicating imperfection from any person's genome so that he might never suffer diseases in his body nor suffer the debilitating effects of old age. No man will ever be able to say, "I have become my own savior unto everlasting life." No man will ever produce someone clean out of someone unclean!
