...good enough for Frank Godwyn, whose farm near Orlando produces alligators like chickens. Godwyn's company uses a technique of artificial insemination developed by Paul Cardeilhac, a University of Florida veterinarian. Sound waves from a $26,000 machine track the development of the female's egg-bearing follicle, then sperm from an alligator bull is injected at the appropriate moment. If all goes well, fertilized eggs yield snapping, 7-in. babies in 45 days. They grow at 2 ft. a year on Godwyn's farm, vs. about half that rate in the wild, to a harvesting size...
...meaning that a married woman is artificially inseminated by a male donor's sperm. The fifth formula, XD & YM by IVF with Gestation M, meant that the beginnings of life could be created through the uniting in a laboratory dish (invitro fertilization) of a woman's donated egg and a married man's sperm. Capron's final version - X1 & Y2 by IVF or Natural/ AΙ w/embryo flushing with Gestation 3 and Social Parents 4 & 5 - outlined how a baby could theoretically have five different "parents...

For example, what does one call the woman who bears a child conceived from another woman's egg? I'm not even sure we know what to call the area under inquiry...
...acquire babies. And the varied fertility controversies that reach the courts are sometimes of a rending intensity. In New York City, for instance, a Florida couple named John and Doris Del Zio in 1973 became the first couple in the U.S. to attempt IVF. An infertility specialist removed an egg from Mrs. Del Zio, put it in a container and handed it to her husband, who raced across town in a taxi to deliver it to the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. There, another doctor fertilized it with some of Del Zio's sperm and stored it in an incubator...
...Britain two years ago, Parliament established a 16-member committee of experts under Dame Mary Warnock to examine the social, ethical and legal implications of the new technology. Among its recommendations published in July: all clinics providing infertility services such as AID, IVF or egg donation should be licensed and regulated; research on embryos up to 14 days old could be permitted, also under license and regulation; but the use of surrogate mothers should be forbidden because such arrangements are "liable to moral objection." Critics on all sides did not hesitate to attack. A Roman Catholic spokesman called the practice...
