This miraculous technology is truly the gift that keeps giving.

"Her sister, Natalie, who also was conceived through in-vitro fertilization, in 1999 became the first "test-tube" baby to give birth."
Doesn't that contradict the main point of the story?

Yes.. and I believe the title should have included "natural" birth.

No, Louise was the world's first "test tube" baby. Her giving birth is the point of the story. I'm sure many IVF children have become parents, but Louise is special since she was the very first.

Not exactly. This girl is the first test tube baby, who has now given birth. Her sister, not the first test tube baby, is the first test tube baby to have given birth.

Misplaced modifiers.
Louise Brown was the first test tube baby. She gave birth.
Her sister, Natalie, was also a test-tube baby. She was first of the test-tube babies to give birth.
So Louise was the first test-tube baby and she gave birth.
And Natalie was the first of the test-tube babies to have given birth.
That concludes English class for today.

No int the case of Natalie, she was the test-tube baby who had a child first. In the case of Louise, she was the first test tube baby, and she just had a child.

Seems more like my high school semantics and logic class.
But, i get your point.
Some english chick had a baby. Stop the presses.

How sure are they that Natalie was the first IVF person to have a baby?
The technology has been around for 28 years...wasn't there a single teen pregnancy of an IVF baby somewhere?

What's next on the evolutionary chain from test tube? Beaker?

This article is just begging for a cartoon and caption, a little more graphic than that though.
"perfect in every way"
Maybe a unverted test tubes with arms and legs and a face drawn on holding a swaddled baby test tube.
To: Nathan Zachary
And for the anti abortion movement have this caption of test tube babies:
"perfect in every way"
But an aborted term baby captioned
"So was this one"
To: Doohickey
"What's next on the evolutionary chain from test tube?" You Tube.

Best I could find and I'm no graphic artist. I'm sure there are some talented Freepers out there who can make it happen.

Actually the first test tube baby was destroyed before it could be brought to term when the university got wind of the experiment.
PBS did a documentary about the controversy over the process.
So this is merely the first test tube baby who was brought to term.
