World's First 'Test-Tube' Baby and America's First IVF Baby Meet for the First Time | PEOPLE.com

On July 25, 1978, Louise Joy Brown, the world’s first baby to be conceived via in vitro fertilization (IVF) is born at Oldham and District General Hospital in Manchester, England, to parents Lesley and Peter Brown. The healthy baby was delivered shortly before midnight by caesarean section and weighed in at five pounds, 12 ounces.

Before giving birth to Louise, Lesley Brown had suffered years of infertility due to blocked fallopian tubes. In November 1977, she underwent the then-experimental IVF procedure. A mature egg was removed from one of her ovaries and combined in a laboratory dish with her husband’s sperm to form an embryo. The embryo then was implanted into her uterus a few days later. Her IVF doctors, British gynecologist Patrick Steptoe and scientist Robert Edwards, had begun their pioneering collaboration a decade earlier. Once the media learned of the pregnancy, the Browns faced intense public scrutiny. Louise’s birth made headlines around the world and raised various legal and ethical questions.

The Browns had a second daughter, Natalie, several years later, also through IVF. In May 1999, Natalie became the first IVF baby to give birth to a child of her own. The child’s conception was natural, easing some concerns that female IVF babies would be unable to get pregnant naturally. In December 2006, Louise Brown, the original “test tube baby,” gave birth to a boy, Cameron John Mullinder, who also was conceived naturally.

Today, IVF is considered a mainstream medical treatment for infertility. Hundreds of thousands of children around the world have been conceived through the procedure, in some cases with donor eggs and sperm.

Nature says “NO” and science says “YES.” Now millions of people that mother nature said no to for various reasons are passing on their genes to another generation. What could possibly go wrong?

This is a test of the emergency broadcast system … this is only a test.

(Mullet was a good-eating fish long before it ever became, “progressed,” into a hair-style.)

Study for, answer to, the test. You won’t make the grade if you pass through the mono(maniacal)filament mesh. You can’t win if you don’t play, which is to say aren’t caught. “Winner-winner, chicken-fish dinner!” while test•ticular fortitude gets an F.

The toobs are fit to be, & so gotta be, tied. Just look at that mesh, will ya?

The only thing that fevers the dreams of the everpresent-seeking-omniscient “they” is the prospect of competition. (Because competition means, assuredly, that they will not be able to maintain a lock of “the top.”)

So they prospect, continuously & by any/all means, to keep topknot & fool’s gold production ramped up as high as possible even as they seek for a 100% “tie it off.” (After which, if it ever comes, they’ll turn on each other, exclusively, as then “they,” those other they’s that they colluded with before, will be “the competition.”)

A tourniquet is princess/concubine ankle-bindings is garrote, all that varies is where the ligature goes & for how long. Some body of embalmers decided 12 years in a choke-hold would go a long way towards tying tubes.

So does gov reducation make competitors, or does it specialize in turning out cogs•nitives? To ask is to answer. But with the ouroboros split/pair o’ forked-cherries atop caveat: cogs•nitives are conceived, not made by embalmers. But that duo’s got a good dienamic beat, & it couldn’t not dance to it if it wanted to – which it doesn’t. (cue) They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?

You bet they do. Preferably after netting, or corralling, or countree’ing, or test-tubing, etc, them.

Every bit as bad as abortion. Multiple conceived humans discarded for each child carried to term.
