About The Genius Chronicles
by wb
In 2001, David Plotz wrote an online series for Slate Magazine exploring the “Genius Babies and How They Grew” and in 2005 a book titled The Genius Factory, in which he tells the story of the Repository for Germinal Choice, also known as the Nobel Prize Sperm Bank.
In late 1987, my daughter Sarah was conceived through artificial insemination by donor (AID) with sperm from the Repository. She is a Genius Baby.
The Genius Chronicles is the working title of a memoir I need to write. I’ve needed to write it since the day the doctors told me I was infertile. Now, I’m going to start. It’s a story worth telling. It’s absolutely true. It’s a work in progress that started coming together in blog posts in the Genius Chronicles blog category. But there’s something odd about reading a narrative from the bottom up. So I’ve started creating static content pages (comments welcomed) with each of the chapters as they get revised to the point that I’m willing to share them.
