Last week an Atlanta fertility clinic announced that the woman had given birth to two robustly healthy boys. The improbable pregnancy was big news for the woman's family--and the way it was achieved was equally important to millions of other women. For the first time in the U.S., babies had been born from eggs that were frozen--and then thawed--before they were fertilized...
...band's struggle to record an album then it is about the way the band members spend their afternoons and nights. Gary, uncomfortable and nervous, makes a fool out of himself while shopping for a Christmas present in Victoria's Secret. Mark takes an AIDS test in a free clinic after waking up so hungover that he can barely remember the sex, much less have any idea whether he used a condom.

"But such children will always be with us. They teach a family how to love and accept the help of others." Morton has not only helped one small community on the fringes of modern society but also taught the world something new and quite important in the process...
