CHICAGO RI-Seeing the physi-
cal start of new human life was
described here to the Federation
of American Societies for Expert
mental Biology.
This start is the merging of the
male germ cell, The sperm. with
the female germ cell, the ovum
or egg.
And the merging seems to occur
by chance, this study finds.
The sperm must swim into the
egg, actually touch il in order to
fertilize ii and start the union
which begins new life. Sperm cells
may swim very near, but miss
touching.
This chance encounter could have
much to do with Why you look
and act exactly like you do, and
not like your brother or sister.
For individual sperm cells pre-
sumably differ in their genes or
hereditary units which they can
carry to the egg with its heredi-
tary units.
The merging is described by DR..

firmly. "A persons lucky if her

There was much that Grace
could have told her about that.
Interested in ascertaining the
chances Ephraim Carlisle had to

Each of her friends had been
asked; Iuchetti or Carlisle. a
