What happend with all that sperm and eggs after this institution was closed? --Abdull 21:41, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

I don't know, but I do know that the demand was so high that they had to start accepting donors with much lower qualifications. I don't think they ever handled eggs, it was just a sperm bank. -Willmcw 22:17, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

According to Plotz' book, it only handled sperm. The Horizon (TV series) documentary that I saw on BBC 2 last night stated that the material was burned. The founders' family had no interest in running it. Autarch 20:10, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I think a link to the book My Uncle Oswald by Roald Dahl would be appropriate. The book is about a guy that invents a strong afrodisiac and sends his girlfriend to various celebrities and nobel prize winners for the 'sample collection'.
