...will develop very sophisticated capabilities of repair," promises Boatman. Mechanical hearts, pacemakers powered by the body's own energy systems, implanted television eyes for the blind, even hospitals in gravityless, germless space-all such things seem possible now that medical men are beginning to take full advantage of the expanding skills of modern technology...
...Hammerstein has written a screen play as pleasing and deft as his lyrics. If the picture had delicacy and imagination to match its competence and good humor -and if its pastoral charm had real outdoor authenticity, instead of a germless soundstage look-State Fair might have become an entertainment classic.

Zoologists had succeeded in keeping fish, chickens, guinea pigs and monkeys alive under completely germless conditions...
...from birth to full maturity.* The platyfish, not an egg-layer, bears live young. To make sure that their baby platyfish got a germ-free start, the researchers bathed the mother fish in alcohol, ether and iodine, made a Caesarean incision and gently sucked the young out of the germless oviduct with a rubber bulb, taking care not to rupture the germ-packed intestines.

Only scientists particularly interested in fractioning life to its lowest common denominators may mount that spiral. And all must wash their hands and faces, put on gowns and hoods of black cloth...
