...least 10,000 U.S. babies have been conceived by artificial (donor) insemination in the past 15 years, and no major legal problems have cropped up. But New York University's Dr. Sophia J. Kleegman emphasized that the greatest care must be taken in selecting subjects. And, concerned about the uncertainties of public opinion, she thought it might be wise to change the name of the technique to "therapeutic insemination...
With one of the volunteer's arms bared and a rubber tube wrapped tight around it, a technician slipped a needle into a vein and drew out 5 cc of blood. The donor's name and address were noted and he was promised a prompt report by mail. Of the first day's 415 samples, 388 were negative; the rest were positive or doubtful.

Within minutes, his thyroid and parathyroids were removed, with about an inch of each of the four main blood vessels attached. The operating room was got ready for Irma Miller, and, as soon as she arrived for an injection, she was whisked to the table. The surgeons decided...
Fewer Phonies. In California, Joe is a member of the State Athletic Commission, president of the Pony Baseball Leagues (for boys from 12 to 15), and the donor of a sports trophy room to U.C.L.A. containing such mementos as Babe Ruth's bat and the trunks Gene Tunney wore the night he won the championship from Jack Dempsey. Joe thinks he is the only man living to have two athletic fields named after him: one in his home town of Hoigate, Ohio, the other at U.C.L.A., which has made him an honorary undergraduate (Joe never got beyond the ninth...
