Attention- those who are waiting for the stork

Dear members,
I can understand how trying and depressing it is, when the visit of the stork is delayed, I had to wait for 4 years. The article in this week's Ananda Vikatan seems a streak of light in darkness. May be many of you know about it, but I wish to share it with you people.
This is about a procedure called "Testicular sperm aspiration intracypoplasmic sperm injection" TESAICSI, which was done on a man who was paralysed from the hips. Even if sperms are not present, the tissue or genes(I am not sure which one, it says uyir anukkal in Tamil) from the male can be fused with the egg and fertilised in the test tube. The Doctor is Geetha Haripriya of Prashanth Maternity Hospital in Chennai.
Mr. Veeramallu was paralysed from hips after an accident. Mrs.Janitta fell in love with him and they married with the blessings of elders after much persuation. But the hubby felt that a home is full only with the arrival of a child. But as he could not even have physical relationship with his wife, it was out of bound. He had approached many hospitals in the past 4 years. At lwast Prashanth Maternity Hospital in Chennai took up the challenge and now he is a proud father.

Dear Varloo,

It is nice of you to bring this to our attention. We forget the afflictions of some in our day to day life. We have to applaud the discoveries and progress of the the medical world, especially when they can be of help to some who otherwise feel helpless. Hats off to Geetha Haripriya and her ilk.

Dear Varloo,
I think by writing in this forum about the information given in A Vikatan, you have done a good service, not in anyway short of what Dr Gita Haripriya is doing.
Hats off to you ! ( Now, don't ask me if I have started wearing hats, since you last saw me ! ).
Love & regards,
Chithra.
