Dr. Melanie Laidlaw is a scientist developing the initial use of ICSI, brief for intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Her collaborator, Dr. Felix Frankenthaler, turns out to have his own suggestions about how exactly to put into action their new procedure. The wild card is Melanie’s new enthusiast, Menachem Dvir, a fellow scientist. This darkly comic menage-a-trois has out not merely in bedrooms and labs, but also in test tubes and under the microscope. A Daring New World certainly!

Includes an interview with Liza Mundy, a about An Immaculate Misunderstanding staff writer in the Washington Post and the author of “”Everything Conceivable: How Assisted Reproduction Is Changing Men, Women, and the World””.
