That's because when Sydney was born on May 8, 1998, she made medical history as the first child in the U.S. born from her mother's frozen egg. While thousands of children had already been produced from frozen embryos, only one other child in the U.S. had been born from the far more delicate frozen egg, and that egg had come from a donor...
Since then, roughly 40 more babies around the world have been born from frozen eggs, raising hope that what has long been considered the Holy Grail of fertility research might someday become a real alternative for women who want to get pregnant after their most fertile years have passed. Unlike embryo freezing, egg freezing doesn't require that women choose the baby's father years in advance...
Scientists at Advanced Cell Technology in Worcester, Mass., took a skin cell from Cow A, cloned it (by injecting the nucleus into a cow egg whose nucleus had been removed), then implanted the embryo in the uterus of Cow B. That embryo clone grew into a fetus, which, had it been born, would have been Cow C. But it was not born. The fetus was removed from the uterus and harvested for its tissues. These tissues from the clone were then put back into the original Cow A. Lo and behold, it worked. These cells from the clone were...

(His folk-heroism was always a peculiarly parochial, New York City phenomenon, like Ed Koch or egg creams.)

...authors, who know each other from the Iowa Writers' Workshop, use "artifacts" of their romantic relationships to decorate the cookbook in colorful collages. Says Thisbe, "Erin and I both are total pack rats, and keep everything." Readers are rewarded with recipes for "Murray Dinkel's Egg Salad" and "Aaron's Post-Peace Corps Tom Yum Goong," as well as the story of the relationships. Thisbe admits that the book is "creative nonfiction": some of the boyfriends are composites, and others have had their identities blurred. But there are guys who are ready for another edition, says Thisbe, whose novel...
