Recenzii
'As the mother of one of the world's first IVF babies, the depth of information in this brilliant, engaging book is thrilling to me. Edwards and Steptoe resiliently persevered, using their intellects and scientific experimentation, to create and hone the pioneering process that resulted in the creation of families world-wide. I live in eternal gratitude to these two men and revere the authors who today bring this 1979 lecture to light.' Ellen Weir Casey, Author of Unstoppable: Forging The Path To Motherhood In The Early Days of IVF, River Grove Press, 2022; Mother of 'Colorado's First Test Tube Baby' in 1983
'What an incredible read! A page-turner full of fascination if not suspense, providing a wonderful and comprehensive account of the genesis of IVF which has transformed the lives of many millions in ways that cannot be over-exaggerated, and is succinctly summed up in Louise Brown's introduction: 'This publication provides an important record for the future, capturing aspects of the early days of IVF that might otherwise be lost forever as time moves on.' This is a truly wonderful record and one that should be read by everyone in the field of reproductive medicine.'
