Progenation

Progenation is a method of artificial reproduction from a single organism wherein one parent is biological mother and father. The process involves taking a sample of diploid cells and splitting them into many haploid cells. During the splitting, their chromosomes are randomly assorted and then recombined in a different arrangement. Special chemicals fuse two haploid cells together to form a totipotent zygote. Because of the random assortment, if the original extracted diploids came from a male the zygote may have either a XY or XX chromosome pair. This means that while progenation can only give a woman a daughter, a man can have either a son or daughter. Any resultant offspring of progenation is basically a bioengineered organism created entirely from gene scrambling and splicing, with the genes coming from one source...the offspring's sole parent.
