...bear children fail to conceive, many of them because of defects in their fallopian tubes. In England last week there was a flurry of optimism about a successful treatment for some of these would-be mothers. A respected, pioneering obstetrician-gynecologist reported that in three cases a ripe egg cell had been removed from a wife and fertilized in a laboratory by sperm from her husband; then the resulting conceptus had been implanted in the wife's womb and she had given birth to a normal child. The three babies thus conceived are now from twelve to 18 months...
...between February and May, wheat fell from $5.52 a bushel to $3.52, and corn from $2.76 to $2.45. Food processors and retailers have by no means passed the full decline along to consumers as yet. In fact, retail food prices overall rose .9% in May, but meat, poultry and egg prices went down...
...number of actions to Butz's words. The Government announced that it would step up purchase of as much as $100 million worth of pork and beef and store it for use in school lunch programs. Butz himself threatened to recommend "drastic action" against Canada-such as curbing egg imports-unless that nation drops its recent ban on U.S. beef from steers fed a growth hormone that is prohibited there. He also tried to persuade Australia and New Zealand to cut back beef exports to the U.S. That was not enough to please farm belt politicians, who pressed...
Against a dark background, a pinkish ovarian follicle swells until an egg bursts forth and sails along the convoluted lining of the fallopian tube like a miniature moon over a mountain range. Sperm, their tails thrashing, cluster together like salmon awaiting a signal to leap a waterfall. Cells, pulsing with life, divide and reproduce. Finally, in a scene reminiscent of the fadeout of 2001, a fetus, its already human form visible through a transparent amniotic sac, fills the screen. These spectacular images (see following pages) are not the products of a Hollywood special effects department. They are frames from...
...culdoscopic technique and enlisted a crew to help him with his film. Because the reproductive process is virtually the same in all mammals, Hayashi used rabbit and monkey stand-ins for shots that might have caused serious discomfort in human patients, or endangered them or their developing eggs. The resulting scenes (the ovary expelling an egg, for example) are indistinguishable from their human counterparts. Furthermore, human volunteers were used for the crucial scenes. The sequences showing fetal development in the womb were filmed on location-in-the uterus of a woman scheduled to undergo an abortion for medical reasons. They...
