A turning point in medical history occurs on July 25, 1978, when Louise Brown is born in a hospital in the English city of Oldham - the first human being conceived through the innovative in vitro fertilization technology.
The scientific achievement is due to the pioneering efforts of researchers Sir Robert Edwards and Patrick Steptoe, who decades later were awarded the prestigious Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Brown's birth represents a true revolution that fundamentally transforms reproductive possibilities and gives invaluable hope to millions of childless families around the world. This medical breakthrough opens an entirely new page in understanding human conception.
