	In vitro fertilisation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The fertilized egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient's uterus with the intent to establish a successful pregnancy.
		"In vitro" is Latin for "in glass", referring to the test tubes, however neither glass nor test tubes are being used; the term is used generically for laboratory procedures.
		The first in-vitro fertilization to produce test tube baby "Durga" in India and second in the world was performed by a Calcutta based doctor Dr.Subhash Mukhopadhyay on October 3, 1978.

		Brown is by all accounts a healthy, normal young woman, and her birth opened the door for a million or so childless couples worldwide to fulfill their dreams of having a family.
		Although so far most IVF babies seem normal — that is, they have medical problems in about the same numbers as the rest of us — concerns persist about the true effects of having been conceived in the lab.
		In fact, several recent studies marked increases in birth defects and eye cancers among IVF children, and several studies have indicated that babies conceived by a sperm injection technique known as ICSI may be at higher risk for some genetic ailments.

		Babies born through in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) may be prey to a rare genetic disorder, according to a study published on Thursday whose findings underscore the health perils from human cloning.
		British researchers looked at the background of 149 babies with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, an inherited condition that causes excessive growth, low blood sugar, defects in the abdominal wall and kidney abnormalities.
		Three were born to the standard IVF method, in which an egg is fertilised by sperm in a lab dish, and the others to a technique called intracytoplasmic injection (ICSI), in which sperm is directly injected in the egg.

	Test-tube babies 'at risk'
		A quarter-century after the advent of in-vitro conception, infants born from these techniques are three times likelier than normally-conceived babies to be born very prematurely (at 32 weeks or less) and to weigh 1.5kg or less.
		The research is a "study of studies" - an overview of 25 published studies that looked at the birth outcome of single babies born after IVF or conceived naturally.
		British doctors, reporting in January 2003, found IVF babies ran a four-times higher risk of a rare genetic disorder called Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, which causes excessive growth, low blood sugar, defects in the abdominal wall and kidney abnormalities.
