About this work

Description

Science has helped for years in the creation of new life by artificial insemination. But in 1978 a startling new method was discovered by scientist Robert Edwards and gynaecologist Patrick Steptoe: in vitro fertilization or test tube babies. The programme traces the history of 'IVF' treament, as well as the attitudes and political implications. [More detailed synopsis available from MFAC].
