The development here is creating pseudo-embryos from somatic cells, and injecting sperm. Combined with stem-cell sperm, two people of any combination of sexes could create healthy children.
Yes, that could involve making a sperm cell from an XX donor cell, but since gametes are haploid, it's the same as any naturally-occuring X-containing sperm, half of which are X and half of which are Y, even in nature.
Oh - which reminds me, the BBC's coverage of lab-grown sperm is right here: http://www.bbc.com/news/health-35658650

You know, that's something I have looked up myself. Heheh. That's a great possibility for couples who can't get babies on their own. But still, there's this discussion going on about doing artificial babies?
