Purpose. "Today one can truthfully say that medical researches designed to relieve generations yet unborn are looked upon as being almost holy, whereas the relief of people who are now miserable and suffering is, too often, looked on as rather sordid and commercial.

Wheeler of New York University Medical School, like the British physiologists who plucked the eyes from unborn chicks and found that they grew in "a surprisingly natural way" (TIME, Oct. 4), ripped bits of living tissue from the eyes of chicken embryos.

These eyes they placed in a glass dish which contained blood plasma and extract of embryonic fowl tissue, a viscid fluid. The tiny eyes dreamily bobbed about in this sticky medium, grew in "a surprisingly normal way," gave the horrible semblance of blinking at the experimenters who watched them last week...
