The Baby Formula is a Canadian mockumentary film, premiering May 22, 2009 at the Inside Out Film and Video Festival in Toronto.[1]
Directed by Alison Reid, the film stars Angela Vint and Megan Fahlenbock as Athena and Lilith, a lesbian couple each pregnant with the other's baby through an experimental stem cell procedure that created artificial sperm from their DNA.[1]
The film's cast also includes Rosemary Dunsmore, Dmitry Chepovetsky and Maggie Cassella.
In 2016 Chinese scientists produced mouse spermatids (precursors of sperm) artificially from mouse stem cells. They fertilized mouse eggs with these spermatids and produced pups.[2]
