Teenager - A Gifted Surgeon | BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- As a senior at Parker high school, 16-year-old Bracie Watson isn't saying what re- search he's now doing. But his teachers won't be surprised, whatever it is. In Grade 9, he grafted skin of an hour-old chick to an- other. The chick with the new skin lived to be frying size. In Grade 10, he took the kid- ney of one dog and trans- planted it into another. The dog suffered no ill effects-- and even bore a litter of eight puppies a few months later, In Grade 11, Watson. took several embryo rats from the bodies of their mothers and kept them alive for hours in a mechanical womb which he designed ar... built. He says his interest in such things began when he joined a science club his first year at Parker. His skin graft project took | first prize in a local science fair. The fair was for Negroes only, and winners could not enter regional contests. This discouraged Watson, but one of the judges was a professor at the University of Alabama Medical Centre. He invited the student to use his lab at the centre and Watson jumped at the chance. In his first kidney trans- plant, the dog died. Then came the successful experi- ment, REMOVED FROM WOMB In May, 1966, Watson read about the problems of unborn babies whose parents had dif- ferent RH factors, He began speculating on the possibility of removing them from the mother's womb to safety: He began work on a me- chanical device that would solve the three major prob lems __ involved--circulating blood through the embryo, ; agua Certain FO) |also have been talks of having a|boycott against Rhodesia follow-|conduct any trade with Rhode-| : |member of the return to Greece and|political rown regent.

Normally, Watson says, the cutoff of ox- ygen and blood would kill an embryo within minutes. Meanwhile the regional sci- ence fairs were! opened to Negro students and Watson's artificial womb took first place. In the International Sci- ence Fair last April, his entry took second place in the medi- cine division. This led to an_ invitation from Dr. Alex Contopoulos of the University of California Medical Centre in San Francis- co for Watson to spend the summer of 1967. working in his lab. He quickly accepted.
