* Arguably occurred in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' with {{spoiler|Rei, who was made up of a combination of [[Half-Human Hybrid|Yui Ikari and Lilith's]] DNA. It's debatable whether Angels, including Lilith, have a physical sex, though.}}

** {{spoiler|Considering what the Sixteenth Angel was apparently trying to do with Rei, and the various ways some of the others...interact with other organic objects, including the Evas, I'll say it's definitely not due to a lack of trying.}}

* Reinforce Zwei of the ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]'' franchise was born in this manner due to the unusual circumstances behind her creation. As revealed in the [[Audio Adaptation|third Sound Stage]] of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Strikers]]'', Reinforce Zwei was made from the Linker Core of Hayate. However, Hayate's Linker Core had permanently melded with Reinforce Eins' Linker Core by then, leading to a child with traits of them both, [[Genetic Memory|including a few leftover memories and emotions of the two]]. This, among others, allowed Reinforce Eins {{spoiler|to leave a [[Video Will]] for Reinforce Zwei to view in her dreams, even though [[Dead Guy Junior|she has been dead for ten years]]}}.

** Events of ''StrikerS'', {{spoiler|first four Numbers have Jail's DNA, with Uno being a feminized clone}} suggest that their society has the tech to do this for ordinary people, though it may not be commercialized yet.

* ''[[Crest of the Stars]]'' definitely has the tech to do this, though we haven't seen any characters with odd parentage.

** {{spoiler|It was a living creature nonetheless!}}

* In ''[[Gargoyles (Animation)|Gargoyles]]'', Delilah was produced from the DNA of Demona and Elisa.

* Following the comics, Superboy in ''[[Young Justice (Animation)|Young Justice]]'' is revealed to be a combination of the DNA of Superman and Lex Luthor in the episode "Agendas." Given that this was in the comics this also counts as an [[I Knew It]] for many fans of both.

Line 144:

** As far as working on making children from two fathers, it's significantly harder, as eggs become the core of an embryo while sperm is little more than genetic information. There are a few ideas, but in practice it's quite a ways away still. Also, YY combinations must be avoided because they don't work, so effectively, the children will be male 2/3 of the time and female 1/3 of the time.

*** That doesn't even get into the fact that there'd need to be a surrogate mother to actually carry the baby, or an artificial womb outside of a body (while there could in theory be male pregnancies, they would be extremely dangerous, and the technology required to make them would be more difficult than a completely artificial womb altogether)

* You could say that [~~http://en.~~wikipedia~~.org/wiki/Dolly_%28sheep%29~~ Dolly the sheep] had three biological mothers: one that the nuclear DNA was taken from, one that the egg cell was taken from, and one that it was implanted in.

* You could say that [[wikipedia:Dolly chr(28)sheepchr(29)|Dolly the sheep]] had three biological mothers: one that the nuclear DNA was taken from, one that the egg cell was taken from, and one that it was implanted in.

* The Desert Grassland Whiptail Lizard, an all-female species, reproduces strictly through cellular meiosis (no fertilization of eggs required), while ovulation is enhanced by what basically amounts to lizard-lesbianism.

* An experiment was done to see if bi-maternal mice have longer lives by changing some eggs to behave like sperm.
