Engineer in Spain from the startup Overture Life maneuvered a tiny, mechanized in-vitro fertilization (IVF) needle using a PS5 controller to release single sperm cells into the female eggs over a dozen times. The experiment was proven to be a "success" and led to the birth of two baby girls earlier this Spring.

MIT Technology Review identified a half-dozen startups with similar aims, with names like AutoIVF, IVF 2.0, Conceivable Life Sciences, and Fertilis.

Overture has already raised about $37 million, with big donors such as former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki.

This the way of the future, with selective breeding and fertilization; to create, to manipulate, and clone a new “master race” of “humans.”
