In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
In 1978 Louise Brown became the world's first baby to be born by in-vitro fertilization or IVF. Her birth revolutionized the field of reproductive medicine.
WHY DO WE NEED IVF? Approximately one in eight heterosexual couples has difficulty conceiving. Also, homosexual couples and single parents often need clinical help to make a baby. The demand for IVF has been growing ever since. IVF is so common that more than five million babies have been born through this technology.
IVF works by mimicking the brilliant design of sexual reproduction. In order to understand IVF, we first need to take a look at the natural process of fertilization.
