I've kinda seen this movie.
Scientists have come up with a way to create infertile male animals that then can be convinced to produce...somebody else's sperm.
This could be used to, for example, duplicate a prize bull in another country. It could also be used to breed endangered species.
But is it ethical? My worry is a simple one:
If a sire is carrying an unknown defective gene that shows up three generations out, do we want to breed him that much. To understand what I mean, look up the Quarter Horse stallion Impressive.
I'm iffy about anything that greatly expands the reproductive capability of a single animal.
