In January 1979, Robert Edwards and Patrick Steptoe delivered a
lecture detailing the ten-year clinical and scientific research
programme that led to the birth of Louise Brown, the first baby
born utilising IVF. This thoroughly-researched book provides both a
full annotated transcript of the lecture as well as recorded
reminiscences from those who attended, detailing the contemporary
understandings of the event. An essay on the lecture's historical
context adds fresh insight into the biographies of Edwards and
Steptoe and highlights sources from print and broadcast media that
have received scant attention in earlier publications. Current and
future implications of the advances in IVF since the first
procedure are also explored, examining future medical and
scientific possibilities as well as ethical issues that may arise.
A foreword by Louise Brown herself places this remarkable leap of
science in a personal context, one that so many families have since
experienced themselves.
