From what I have read it is possible to take an egg cell from a female, transfer the DNA into a stem cell, and then cause it to develop into a sperm cell. That would make it possible for two females to have a baby.
So far it has not been possible with two males because the Y chromosome does not have all the material needed to create an X chromosome. But I am thinking that if science has progressed this far they will be able to overcome this obstacle seen.
None of this has been done with humans yet because, like cloning, there are claims that it violates some ethical standard. But does it really? I see no problem with it. To me it is not that much different from artificial insemination.
