...successful experiment began in Texas in the spring of 1975, when Researchers Duane Kraemer, Gary Moore and Martin Kramen removed a fertilized egg from a baboon five days after she had mated with a male. At that point the egg had moved from her fallopian tube and was floating freely, but it had not yet become implanted in the uterine wall, where there would have been more difficulty in removing it. The fertilized egg was then implanted in the uterine wall of a second female that had been chosen as foster mother because she had ovulated on the same...
...provide some quick payoffs in primate research. In studies of high blood pressure (hypertension), for example, a female baboon with a genetic tendency toward hypertension could be used to provide researchers with many more animals with the same condition. She could be mated once a month, and her fertilized egg removed each time for implantation in a foster mother. The foster mothers would then give birth to infants with a predisposition to hypertension...
...bazaar. One Bendel window showed a woman gone mad, clawing at the walls. Another scene had several women staring at an apparent suicide surrounded by pill bottles.

...insect's life cycle is also an asset to its survival. Many insects are completely metamorphic, passing from egg through larval, pupal and sometimes suspended stages before developing into full-fledged adults that can then mate and start the process all over again. This enables them to take advantage of a wide variety of food supplies. Insect fecundity is frightening. Many species lay hundreds or thousands of eggs after each mating. Some pass through their entire life cycles, from egg to adult, in a matter of days or weeks, producing dozens of generations a season. This gives them an enormous...
