There's nothing special about agar jelly. It's the STANDARD compound for such things. And frankly, balls are a lot firmer than the jelly shit.

He just couldn't wrap his head around the idea that some other guy's sperm was in his wife. On top of that, and he had a good point, there's no easy way to trace the medical history from the paternal side and that's often extremely important when issues come up.
