Loise Brown holds the accolade of being the first ever test-tube baby. Born on July 25, 1978, in Oldham, England, Brown made history as the first human to be conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF).
IVF is a fertility treatment where an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body and then implanted into the womb. This groundbreaking procedure was pioneered by Dr. Robert Edwards and Dr. Patrick Steptoe, who successfully helped Brown's parents, Lesley and John Brown, conceive her after years of struggling with infertility.
