God of Sperm tells the remarkable story of Dr. Cappy Miles Rothman,
the son of notorious gangster Norman "Roughhouse" Rothman, who went
on to become a trailblazer in the field of reproductive medicine.
Rothman started the California Cryobank, one of the world's largest
repositories of reproductive genetic material and cord-blood stem
cells. Among other achievements, Rothman also pioneered the use of
microsurgery in urological procedures, postmortem sperm retrieval
techniques, and was one of the first practitioners of andrology, a
specialty dealing with male reproductive biology and medicine. How
Cappy Rothman went from Mafia scion and man-about-town during the
postwar Miami Beach--Havana era of gangster chic to one of the most
consequential figures in modern medicine is an epic,
only-in-America tale that is also a fine reminder of the broad
horizons and wild possibilities life in the U.S. can offer.
