Given the opportunity, under the right conditions, two cells from wildly different sources, a yeast cell, say, and a chicken erythrocyte, will touch, fuse, and the two nuclei will then fuse as well, and the new hybrid cell will now divide into monstrous progeny. Naked cells, lacking self-respect, do not seem to have any sense of self.

American Scientist

Huston Smith

The notion that Western religions are more rigid than those of Asia is overdrawn. Ours is the most permissive society history has ever known - almost the only thing that is forbidden now is to forbid - and Asian teachers and their progeny play up to this propensity by soft-pedaling Hinduism's, Buddhism's, Sufism's rules.

American Theologian

Rumaan Alam

Instead of a passion for the Yankees or fly-fishing or birding, I want to pass on to my sons a love of books, music, and art. I accept that this is partly about the gratification of my own ego, but it's also one of the only ways I know of making a rich life. That's what we all want for our progeny.

American Author

Cynthia Kenyon

There are lots of different strategies that an animal can use to survive. What a worm does is try to convert food into worms as soon as possible. In three days a single worm produces 300 progeny. So why put your resources into developing if you can make a brand-new worm in no time at all?

Billy Collins

Some honor Cummings as the granddaddy of all American innovators in poetry and ascribe to him a diverse progeny that includes virtually any poet who considers the page a field and allows silence to be part of poetry's expressiveness.

American Poet

Mary Shelley

And now, once again, I bid my hideous progeny go forth and prosper. I have an affection for it, for it was the offspring of happy days, when death and grief were but words, which found no true echo in my heart.

English Author

It is from the progeny of this parent cell that we all take our looks; we still share genes around, and the resemblance of the enzymes of grasses to those of whales is in fact a family resemblance.

Nikola Tesla

The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny.

Inventor

Paul Di Filippo

Generational change within a genre is hard to parse while it's happening. Only in retrospect can the passing of the baton from ancestors to progeny be clearly discerned.

American Writer

James Lovelock

Nature favors those organisms which leave the environment in better shape for their progeny to survive.

English Scientist

Used when discussing someone's children in a slightly formal or literal sense.

Human Context

Can refer to adopted children or those for whom one is a guardian, not just biological.

Not Always Biological

Often implies continuity of family lineage or traits.

Flows of Bloodline

Refers to a non-physical product of creative or intellectual effort.

Abstract Creation

Gives a human-like quality to an outcome, suggesting it was 'birthed' by an entity.

Project Personification

Emphasizes the biological lineage from a specific organism.

Biological Descent

Used in the context of preserving or documenting lineages in breeding or conservation.

Species Continuation

Can imply the future changes or developments of species over generations.

Evolution Implications

 it said "It doesn't matter anymore, because they've had their progeny." So if you look at cancers, it is very rare -- extremely rare -- to have cancer in a child, on the order of thousands of cases a year. As one gets older? Very, very common. Why is it hard to treat?

 That's right -- it's a ratio of one to a thousand. The CAR T cell and its daughter progeny cells can divide and divide and divide in the body until the last tumor cell is gone. There's no precedent for this in cancer medicine.
