La actual campaña electoral es el reino del pastelero, la feria de los voltearepas, el bazar de los chaqueteros, el carrusel de los tránsfugas. Difícilmente se hallará en la historia latinoamericana un elenco comparable que haya sacado provecho de tan distintos grupos políticos, que haya saltado de partido en partido con tanta desvergüenza y que carezca tan palmariamente de convicciones estables. 2, record 2, Spanish, - chaquetero

It is well known that there is a shortage of human ova for in vitro fertilization (IVF) purposes, but little attention has been paid to the way in which the demand for ova in stem cell technologies is likely to exacerbate that shortfall and create a trade in human eggs. 1, record 3, English, - trade%20in%20human%20eggs
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
It should be noted that despite their interchangeability in common usage ("egg" being used more frequently than "ovum"), scientifically speaking, these terms are not synonyms. 2, record 3, English, - trade%20in%20human%20eggs

On estime qu'il faudrait environ 13 ovules pour former un blastocyte normal, source de cellules ES [souches embryonnaires], ce qui laisse entrevoir le développement d'un véritable commerce d'ovules, et donc d'une marchandisation de l'humain. 1, record 3, French, - commerce%20d%27ovules
