yeah, you don't want specific stuff here-- so please direct me to where I can go
to find what I want to know...

	What I want to do is to make a baby.  The parents are two female humans.
What I imagined doing was taking a donor sperm and replacing its nucleus with 
that of an egg from woman 1.  Then, of course, I'd fertilize woman 2's egg with 
it.
	I (in my phenomenal degree of ignorance) figured that in this way the 
egg would be triggered correctly by the sperm, and everything would be fine.
Sure, we have a 100% chance of getting a girl baby, but that's fine too.  Even
I know nothing's this simple.

	The main question I have is, of course, where can I go to find out what
I need to know?
	If you want to tell me things by email (which I would much appreciate!),
my questions are:
	How does the makeup of the egg's nucleus compare to that of the sperm's?
	Does the sperm's nucleus have to be a _man's_ nucleus to join the egg's
nucleus to make a full complement of chromos?  That is, are there special 
protein present in the nucleus of one that the other is missing that need to be
present (or need to be absent)?  Can I switch the nuclei in the sperm without
anyone noticing?
	
				Thank you very much, and I look forwards to 
					hearing from you.
