After nine years of frustration, and with help of modern science, Louise Brown, the world’s first test-tube baby, was born to Peter and Lesley Brown in Manchester, England in 1978. With the help of British gynecologist and scientist Robert Edwards, a mature egg was taken from one of Lesley’s ovaries and was combined with her husband’s sperm in a Petri dish to form an embryo, which was then implanted into her uterus.
