You ARE the Father
We've all been there. Sick on a school day with nothing to do but watch day time television and be miserable, but I repeat myself. And what else should pop on the CW but Maury. And, what else should be on there, but endless lists of a mom going against the would-be father, throwing around the paternity test like a machete proving that he is the father.
A certain episode had a paternity test in which one of the guests, Sabrina, was having a paternity test done to see whether her second child was her boyfriend's, named Andrew, child or not.
However, without Aristotle's early renditions to genetics, giving us the basics, modern genetics could have been possible.Paternity tests work in that DNA a samples are taken from all three people involved, mother, father, and child. The sample is usually taken from inside the cheek on special swabs designed specifically for it. Later the samples are matched up, and to see if the child is from the father, they see if all the patterns match up, and there are no missing or extra patterns. Since Aristotle was able to conclude how the sperm had a part of the form that it was able to give to the egg of the woman, he predicted how a child has two halves of each parent (but not in so many words).
Now, imagine, it still takes weeks, sometimes, months to get information on whether or not "that is your child." Without Aristotle, the time to find out could be exponentially longer, or impossible.

Thank you for making me rich Aristotle.
Inconceivable
Inconceivable, created by O. Goldstick and M. Pennette, is about handsome men and women who are plastic surgeons. The show is about a fertility clinic who tries to help people, and of course there is drama. Only two episodes made it on air before the show got cancelled. The main reason for such a show is to inform about a sensitive topic as this one. However, since it was cut extremely early, it can only be assumed it did not do a good job.
Without Aristotle's surprisingly spot-on research and finding, this whole show could not be possible. Aristotle's findings clearly go into the show, as the show talks about impotency throughout the whole airing, and is clearly demonstrated and implied when a surrogate mother is displayed in the first 15 minutes of the very first episode- showing how infertility affects both men and women, as was found by Aristotle. Without knowing why something happens, finding the "cure" is almost impossible. That is why Aristotle's research is invaluable. Not only is this topic needlessly embarrassing because of our culture's taboos, but now help can be given to the people who are affected, like the persons who are entering the clinic in the show Inconceivable.
Aristotle also studied how to diagnose infertility, which is a big part of the show, especially considering how it is a fertility clinic. Some of his original tests, were to see if the semen from the male sunk to the bottom of a container filled with cold water. His reasoning was that since semen was hot, it would sink. This proved fertility. Infertility was if the semen spread at the top of the container of cold water. He also differentiated tests between men and women to find out whether one was sterile or not. This research was also important since in the show, there some innuendos as to tests that were happening in the show, usually just mentioned in passing.
So. Yeah.
