I need help with a sci-fi title of a book
The story was about a wacko gynecologist that was fertilizing IUDs he was putting in women. The result of course being pregnancy and the children were genetic experiments. The kids ended up being like super-freaks and very destructive and angry.

Any body read a book like that? I was wanting to find it for my son to read. He likes stuff like that.

Thanks for any help.

3. Egg Dancing
That is the only one I know of, which is a sci-fi satire on genetic engineering and evangelical Christianity. It involves a gynecologist experimenting on his wife. It is by Liz Jensen.

Haven't heard of the one you mentioned.

4. This site may help you . . .
I use it a lot for my work, especially since I'm NOT into Sci-Fi:

Thanks to the poster now known as HypnoToad for the link. I like to give credit where it's due!

6. Didn't Vonnegut write something like that?
I seem to recall something in one of his novels about this, but it was just a briefly sketched thing, sort of a Kilgore Trout aside.
