The Origins of Fertility

Frozen sperm technology was still quite primitive up until the late 1980s. Many doctors might have justified using their own fresh sperm because they knew it would work better than the alternative. Dr. Barwin's marked success was a direct consequence of the fact that he was fine lying to people about who's semen they were getting. And this, Billy Wayne Davis, brings me to the story of Bertold Wissner and his wife, Mary Barton. They were among the earliest pioneers in the fertility field.
