| A good friend of mine purchased some freeze dried sperm on the Internet.
When the sperm cells arrived we opened the package, and the material was
a gray powder inside a small clear plastic bottle. Following the
instructions, we mixed the dry powder with the water provided. The
stuff changed color a little, but it just sat there; we kind of expected
it to start crawling around.
We ran to the lab and placed a drop of the stuff on a slide and viewed it under a microscope. Schzam! there were millions of sperm all beating their tails and zooming from one side of the slide to the other. Following the instructions, we used a plastic syringe with a long rounded tip to place the sperm deep in the vagina near what felt like the cervix. We repeated this process every day for a week. In three weeks we did a pregnancy test, and the cow was positive. Soon she gave birth to a beautiful calf. Was the freeze dried powder "alive?" Once we added the water, the chemicals went into solution and began reacting with each other producing life. |
