The article specifically says he did not get to try ape sperm on human women. I know it takes away some of the shock value of your post.
Technically OP is grammatically correct…
The expirement failed because his orangutan died before he could get a sperm sample
Like, I’ve failed at my attempt at being the winning QB in the Super Bowl. Doesn’t mean I lost a Super Bowl as QB
Like the attempt at doing it failed, it just failed before the first step was even taken.
Definitely confusing tho and you were right to clarify. I’m just being a nerd about it
“so here I was jerking off Steve and he just collapsed”
You make jokes about it, but 2 grad students still have carpal tunnel…
Ha fair point. I’d argue though that if you never, say, took the steps of getting to the NFL then you didn’t make an “attempt.”
But yeah, in your analogy it’s more like his team didn’t make it to the playoffs.
It does say he was trying that too
In 1929, after returning to the Soviet Union, he attempted to organize a set of experiments involving nonhuman ape sperm and human volunteers but was delayed by the death of his last orangutan.
Alternate headline: Russian beastiality connoisseur fucked a chimp and jerked of an orangutan until it died. No pregnancies occurred
He should have stuck to more sensible experiments, like Comrade Lysenko who tried to teach communism to trees.
Aren’t trees already communists?
They were just ignoring him because he was being condescending
Yeah, they invented communism
Still, a fun time was had by all.
Not the animals that died
He tried twice and gave up? Bet if we try again today it would work, but them there is this “ethics” bs lol
In vitro… You can see if it works publish a paper not animals directly involved
