Sperm Sorting Chip

Makarand writes "Microscopically narrow fluid streams running side by side barely mix - a phenomenon put to use in a new stamp size silicon chip for purifying sperm. This technique could find use in infertility clinics where centrifugal technqiues, which can damage fragile sperm, are currently used to purify sperm. Semen and salt water are dripped into etched lanes less than half a millimeter wide from opposite ends of the chip. When the lanes merge, the healthy and wriggly sperm swim into the salt water stream and leave the dead and the disabled sperm behind."

Because you will adopt a kid and then the father who could card less gets talked into filing for custody(by his mother), when the child is 2 years old. You lose the court case and the child is taken away from you.

There are big problems with adoption policies in the us. Why do you so many people look overseas to adopt?

It is probable that the above poster was making a tangential reference to the old homoerotic game of Soggy Cracker or Soggy Biscuit, wherein a group of males (usu. used in initiation rites and the like) will masturbate in a circle upon a cracker and the last one to "finish" is made to eat said cracker. Aren't you glad that now you know!?
