First Test Tube Baby Gives Birth


The first baby to be born through in-vitro fertilization, Elizabeth Carr, is now 25 years old and just gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

Although there was a lot of controversy surrounding so-called test tube babies at the time, Carr's birth ushered in a new age. People who would have been unable to conceive now had new hope.

Now a journalist, Carr, who changed her last name to Comeau to avoid notoriety, recently recounted her experiences with the media in a first person essay in the Boston Globe.
