New theory addresses frozen Earth paradox
LONDON, July 25 (UPI) -- Louise Brown, the first "test tube baby," turned 25 Friday as British medical experts predicted an end to most infertility problems.
Brown, of Bristol, England, was born in 1978 after her mother underwent in vitro fertilization.
The Bourn Hall Clinic in Cambridge is planning a birthday party for Brown Saturday. One of her mother's doctors, Professor Robert Edwards, is expected to attend, along with Brown, and her fiance, Wesley Mullinder, Sky News reported.
Brown, a Bristol postal worker, has been shy about her unique place in history.
"I used to think about how I was conceived quite a lot when I was about 10 or 11, but I don't think about it at all now that so many other babies have been born in the same way," Brown said in an interview five years ago.
