World's first test tube baby turns 25



CAMBRIDGESHIRE, England, July 26 (UPI) -- Louise Brown, the world's first test tube baby, was honored Saturday at the clinic where she was conceived 25 years ago.

More than 1,000 children created by invitro fertilization attended the ceremony at the Bourn Hall clinic, the BBC reported.

Brown's birthday was Friday, July 25, 1978. Among those at the party were quadruplets from Iceland, the BBC said.

"It's so nice to be here with everybody, to see all the other IVF babies who have been born in the last 25 yeas," Brown said.

She was accompanied by her parents and members of the pioneering team that helped in her conception, including Dr. Bob Edwards.

Brown said she is now a postal worker living in Bristol.

"I have just got on with my life, normally," she said. "I don't do many interviews, I just sort of take everything in my stride. I plod along."

Would you feel inferior or superior to the other non-test-tubers?

Interesting question, but that assume you know if you're one of them. You or I could be a test-tube baby and not even know it.

She is a postal worker living an ordinary life. That pretty much answers it.

Should we even have TTB? The reason for it in the first place is that there's a genetec defect in one or both of the parents. If that same defect gets passed along to all his/her decendents there may be a day (1000 generations?) that humans can't reproduce on their own. Or to throw that whole theroy in the can; have any of the 1,000,000 TTB had kids of their own the "natural" way?
