Voronoff puts his patient and a healthy young monkey side by side on operating tables. A local anaesthetic is given the man, and a general one to the monkey. The incisions are made, and one of the monkey's gonads is sliced into six pieces thin enough for the interstitial cells of the patient quickly to interpenetrate them. In earlier operations Voronoff had failures because the transplanted portions were too thick and died before they could knit up with the human glands. Within a few weeks the new tissue becomes continuous with the old, and its hormones begin their beneficial...

When a patient in this state is plied with questions, Dr. House claims, the auditory centers "set off" the chain of memory, and the replies disclose what actually happened, because the patient is powerless to contrive any deception or rational defense.
