Is it possible to fuse two eggs together?
You can’t make a baby with two moms by simply fusing two eggs or adding one egg’s DNA to another’s. This is even though the resulting embryo would have the usual 46 chromosomes. The reason isn’t some special string of A’s, G’s, T’s or C’s found in dad’s DNA.
