Their doctor wants to pursue in vitro fertilization but the entire process, including harvesting oocytes and sperm, can be expensive, time-consuming, invasive, and problem-laden. Sue has heard that cloning uses various typ of cells and knows that you're studying biology, so she wants to know whether skin cells from Tom could be used to fertilize skin cells of hers, rather than using eggs and sperm.
