The genetic mother in this case would be the person who supplied the substitute nucleus. This changeling nucleus can come from a person of either sex. Thus if the father supplied the nucleus and also fertilized the ovum, he would be the child's only genetic parent...
Another possibility is "chemical adultery." Bacteria can already be subjected to "directed mutation" by means of a chemical, DNA (desoxyribosenucleic acid), extracted from the chromosomes. When this practice is extended to humans, certain hereditary characteristics of one person can be transferred to the reproductive cells of another person. Looking far ahead, Rostand anticipates a time "when each human infant could receive a standard DNA that would confer the most desirable physical and intellectual characteristics. Such children will not be the offspring of a particular couple, but of the entire species...
