This aspect of readdressing economic thinking is linked to the future survival of civilisation as propounded by Sir C P Snow in Rede Lecture delivered at Cambridge University in 1959.

The Psyche of the Test Tube Baby & the Bioethics of FatherhoodA generation ago the first “test tube baby” was born in Great Britain via in vitro fertilization (IVF) in 1978. Since then, more than three million children have been born with the help of reproductive technology. In fact, America’s first test tube baby has had a baby of her own: Elizabeth Comeau, 29, delivered her first son, Trevor James Comeau on August 06, 2010.
