Louise Brown was born on the 25th of July 1978. Her weight was 5 pounds, 12 ounces (2.608 kg) and she was a very cute and healthy baby. The reason her birth was very important for the whole world, especially the scientific society, was that she was the first recognized “test tube baby” conceived by the process of In-Vitro-Fertilization (IVF). Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards had been working on this technique since the 1960’s and Luise was their first big success. Her parents had tried to get a child for over nine years and were more than happy about the new opportunity given by the researchers. Today the laws concerning IVF differ from country to country and there are ongoing ethical debates about it.
