    An egg is constructed in such a way as to need a sperm. Two eggs or two sperm will not be part of the equation that results in a baby.

    We have done it in mice, and we have created human embryos from a single female egg (no sperm), however it's long way to go before it's viable as a fertilisation technique. It's possible and being researched.

    Not yet. But in principle it's possible.
    Capuchin is correct.

    Creating a new life solely from the female's egg is one thing - but combining the DNA of two women into a single egg is another. Perhaps it will be accomplished some day. One thing for sure - the offspring would be female.
