On July 25, 1978, Louise Joy Brown, the world’s first baby to
be conceived via in-vitro fertilization (IVF)was born at Oldham
and District General Hospital in Manchester, England, to parents
Lesley and Peter Brown.
The healthy baby was delivered shortly before midnight by
caesarean section and weighed in at five pounds, 12 ounces.
Today, IVF is considered a mainstream medical treatment for
infertility. Hundreds of thousands of children around the world
have been conceived through the procedure, in some cases
with donor eggs and sperm.
