Sperm Samples
Something very strange happened a few years ago
at the John Radcliffe Hospital , the hospital where I was a Porter. A poster was
pinned to the notice board of our lodge asking for any men aged between twenty
and fifty to donate samples of semen. The request came from the Institute of Molecular
Medicine ,
see: http://www.imm.ox.ac.uk/home.
The IMM facility is located on the hospital site, yet it is part of Oxford University . The volunteer donors were just asked to drop in and
were treated on an ad hoc basis; they were not required to register or go
through any preliminary selection or preparation process. This is contrary to
normal practice in fertility medicine, see: http://www.fertilityauthority.com/men-only/getting-started/collecting-semen-sample.
Most peculiar of all, they were paid ten pounds in cash for their donation; as
one of the Porters put it: "It's the most profitable wank I've ever
had!" At no point were any of the donors told what their sperm specimens
were to be used for, and it also never stated any purpose on the poster. I
warned my Brother Porters not to do it because their sperm might be used for
some genetic experiment that was clandestine and sinister. I can only imagine
what that experiment might be, but I have no doubt that extreme science does go
on away from the public eye; here are just two possible examples: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/real-ape-men.html
and: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/goblin-in-suitcase-scares-cops.html.
If such experiments are going on then Oxford University is likely to be involved somewhere down the line. Oxford University is not only one of the most prestigious and famous
academic institutions in the world, it is also one of the richest and most
powerful. It has an incalculable budget that includes "black
projects" and works very closely with governments, militaries and the
corporate world. It's also not in any one place. When walking through Oxford I'm often approached by tourists asking me to direct
them to the University; this is impossible because it's everywhere in many
locations. Along with the thirty-eight principle colleges which are
widely-spaced around the city, there is the aforementioned IMM which is placed
inside a National Health Service campus. They own and hire facilities in other
towns and even operate abroad. I voiced my suspicions to my Brother Porters and
was saddened by their response. Some of them did not disagree with my concerns;
however their response was to shrug their shoulders and say: "So
what?" Naturally in this day and age a lot of people are hard up
financially, including all Hospital
Porters, but even beyond that it's become very trendy to be apathetic, maybe
this is because of TavistockEnders,
see: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/eastenders-murder.html.
It's conventional wisdom to worry yourself purely with your own material status
and to regard all wider ethical issues as irrelevant. People who are concerned
over the futher-reaching morality of a situation are generally thought of as
naive and irrational. All I can say to my Brother Porters, and I did at the
time, is that if in a few years some semi-human creature with five arms and
three heads knocks on your door and says "Hello, Daddy!" don't tell
me I didn't warn you. If any HPANWO readers have had a similar experience, could you let me know?
