Abstract
A GIRL was born on July 25, 1978, as a result of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.1 After that, a boy was born in England through the efforts of the same investigators, 2 and more recently a girl was born in Australia through the efforts of an independent team. Another girl may also have been born in India. The birth of the first of these babies caused worldwide publicity that led simultaneously to acclaim and concern. The acclaim greeted the development of another technique to treat barrenness due to blocked fallopian tubes — one of the common and intractable causes . . .Keywords
