TORONTO, April 28.-Test-tube
babies passed their first scientific
laboratory step today. but with pros
poets that if ever produced they will
not be raised just to fill armies, fo-
all are likely to be girls.
The first step was reported to the
Federation of American Societies
for Experimental Biology from Clark
University. There 43 virgin ova, un-
fertilized human eggs" taken di-
rectly from ovaries by surgical oper-
ations, were placed in test tubes.
The ova not only lived but demon
strated their ability to mature"
away from their mothers" The
maturation consisted in polar body
and chromosone changes by which
they got ready to divide. which is
the first step toward reproduction
This proof that the human ovum
is able to live temporarily in a
test tube is small step in itself.
The significance lies in the fact
that the experiment repeats the
history of like discoveries in lower
animals
In the animals the experiments
have led to production of young
without any fertilization by males.
In such experiments, in the great
majority of cases, the young all have
been females.
