...chilly sludge. If intercourse continues so long that this sludge is dissipated, it is a sign that a fresh injection is required, so that night of love becomes a kind of spermicidal bath. Orogenital contact is definitely counter indicated, especially as the spermicides are about as toxic as if sperm were mice... Why the diaphragm and all that sails within it should be so gross is unimaginable: if toothpaste tasted as disgusting as spermicide, the teeth of the nation would have fallen out years...
...after Elsa's ten-year-old daughter by a previous marriage accidentally shot herself, the disconsolate couple sought to have another child. Unable to conceive by natural means, they turned, in 1981, to Melbourne's pioneering IVF program. Because Rios, then 54, was infertile, doctors used sperm from an anonymous donor to fertilize a number of eggs taken from his 37-year-old wife. Several were implanted, and two spares were frozen for use in case the pregnancy failed.

That animal behaves like a goat and has even tried mating with female goats, but like another hybrid, the mule, its sperm are defective. At Justus-Liebig University in Giessen, West Germany, other embryo manipulators also reported producing goat-sheep...
...difference is that the California baby was conceived not in a Petri dish but in the body of the woman donating the egg. In the method used by Dr. John Buster and his team at Harbor/U.C.L.A. Medical Center in Torrance, a woman with healthy ovaries was artificially inseminated with sperm from the husband of an infertile woman. Five days after fertilization, the donor's uterus was flushed with a nutrient solution and the embryo was recovered and implanted in the infertile woman's uterus...
