Summary:
"Preface: The 40th anniversary of the birth of Louise Brown, the first baby in the world to be born after conception in vitro, seemed to us and to Nick Dunton at Cambridge University Press, to be the ideal time to produce a book on the history of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) worldwide. Our aim has been to invite friends and colleagues from many different countries to write their own personal views on how IVF developed in their own countries or regions. Other authors were asked to review the stories behind other topics, like the early history leading up to human IVF, scientific and pharmaceutical developments, ethical and legal challenges, and how parents and children have fared after treatment by IVF"--Provided by publisher.
"The birth of Louise Joy Brown - the world's first baby born following in-vitro fertilization - heralded a medical revolution. Forty years later, many thousands of babies are born each year following IVF. Assisted reproduction is a global industry with a multi-billion dollar turnover. It is a complex mix of science, clinical management, bioethics, and commercial imperatives. Many of the pioneers of IVF are still with us and have a fascinating tale to tell. Here, they relate the story of the development of IVF and related technologies in a way that will prove invaluable to future generations of practitioners seeking to understand the genesis of the specialty. This is not an academic history: rather it takes an informal and anecdotal approach; informing and entertaining for generations of past, present and future medical and scientific specialists of IVF, alongside the millions of parents, who celebrated the successes of IVF treatment worldwide." -- Publisher's description
