On October 16, 2024, former President Donald Trump claimed to be the father of IVF. Apparently, historical truth is not as important to him as gaining votes from women, many of whom do not like the man because of his checkered history with women. Remember Stormy Daniels?
The man who pioneered IVF was Robert Edwards (1925-2013). Michael Cook writes, "Obituaries and eulogies by colleagues, friends and admirers spoke of a passionate man with boundless energy, driven by a desire to bring happiness to infertile couples. Since he is directly responsible for the birth of some five million children since the first IVF baby in 1978, his legacy is worth pondering. (The figure is now about 12 million.)"
In 2010, Edwards won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on IVF. Edwards' work led to the birth of Louise Brown on July 26, 1978, the world's first "test-tube baby."Read it here: Who is the real ‘father of IVF’? - Mercator
