SEX DETERMINATION.
A PROFESSOR’S CLAIMS (Received 8.15 p.m.)
London, Jan. 19.—Professor Julian Huxley, of New College, Oxford, discussing, before the Royal Society of Arts, scientific progress in the determination of sex, referred to the ultimate possibility of altering the sex balance in man, besides animals. Regarding domestic aniffialls, he declared that it should prove possible during the next 50 years to separate certain sorts of spermatozoa in the laboratory, and then resort to artificial fertilisation and secure offspring of the desired sex.—(A. and N.Z.)
