The embryos are
housed throughout
their stay in the
laboratory in
special incubators.		 The fertilized oocytes
are cultured until the
day of embryo
transfer.		 100,000 spermatozoa
are added to each
egg and incubated
until the next morning.

Since 1984, thousands of
babies have been born
worldwide after having
undergone embryo
cryopreservation.		 The sperm must be
immobilized before
injecting it into the oocyte.		 Sperm is placed inside
the oocyte with a special
pipette.		 Alter news report about

then used for genetic
