- From
- WNYC
S**rm carry half the genes needed for human life. In this hour of Radiolab: some basic questions and profound thoughts about reproduction. To begin, why so many s**rm? We turn to the animal kingdom for answers, which lands us on a tour of s**rm battles in ducks, flying pig s**rm, and promiscuous whippoorwills. Then, we ponder fatherhood, and wonder...in a world where s**rm m can be frozen and kept for all eternity...what does the future holds for men? And we end quietly, with a widow struggling to keep some essence of her husband alive.
