Fertility Doctor Accused of Secretly Using Own Sperm to Impregnate Patients

A lawsuit has been filed against a retired Boston fertility doctor, Dr. Merle Berger, by a woman who claims he secretly used his own sperm to impregnate her over 40 years ago. Sarah Depoian visited Dr. Berger's fertility clinic and was promised an anonymous donor's sperm for artificial insemination. However, her daughter, Carolyn Bester, discovered through a DNA test that Dr. Berger is her biological father. The lawsuit alleges deliberate misconduct and seeks damages for the harm caused. Dr. Berger denies the accusations, stating they have no legal or factual merit.

The National Zoo's giant panda couple, Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, struggled to mate naturally for almost two decades, resulting in the need for artificial insemination to produce their four surviving cubs. Despite various attempts to improve their mating success, including low lights, exercise programs, and even the consideration of showing them "panda porn," the pandas never quite clicked. The zoo experts still wonder why the adults never mastered the basics of mating. With the departure of the remaining pandas from the National Zoo, the era of giant pandas in Washington, D.C. is coming to an end.

Last female Yangtze turtle dies, species on brink of extinction.

The last known female Yangtze giant softshell turtle has been found dead in Vietnam, leaving the species on the brink of extinction. Only two known living Yangtzes remain on earth, both males, and one suffers from impotence. The species was decimated by habitat destruction and illegal turtle hunting. Researchers are holding out hope that there may be another Yangtze stealthily living in Dong Mo. Conservationists suggest that the species could be brought back from the brink of extinction with the help of advanced cloning technology.
