British child, the world’s first test-tube baby, born by Caesarean section. Her mom’s ovum was germinated in a lab experiment on 11/10/1977 and implanted five days later. John and Lesley Brown were unable to conceive, and they were happy to cooperate with Doctors. Edwards and Steptoe, who had put in ten years of research and 70 attempts to create in-vitro fertilization.
Robert Edwards, Nobel Prize, was born 27 September 1925, in Leeds (dead 10 April 2013).
When the successful birth of a healthy girl was announced, there was, at first, a great outcry that it was unnatural and ungodly, but the publicity died down. John, a truck driver, and Lesley managed to give Louise a normal upbringing and enough poise to handle TV and media interviews. At 15, she was a husky girl with curly brown hair and blue eyes. A typical teen, Brown says that she “likes loud music and stupid clothes.”
Four years after Louise was born, the Browns had another daughter through the in-vitro method. In both cases Lesley got pregnant on the first try, which is remarkable, as the success rate is normally 15%.
By 2000, Louise was working as a nurse, a big lady of more than 200 lbs.
The world’s first “test-tube baby” married Wesley Mullinder on September 4, 2004 in Bristol, England. The couple welcomed their first child, Cameron John, born on December 20, 2006 in Bristol via Caesarian section at 12:23 PM local time, according to one news report..
