Abstract

The birth in 1968 of Louise Brown, the first English test tube baby, was a beacon of hope to the estimated 1 in 7 couples who experience difficulty in conceiving a child. It was obvious that the process of assisted conception required regulation to deal with the legal and ethical ramifications of the developments science had given us and after much consultation and debate, The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 was passed.
