ABSTRACT
In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer leading to a successful pregnancy was well established in experimental animals during the early part of the 20th century. It was such findings that led to the publication of early science fiction “Brave New World’ by Aldous Huxley in the 1930’s. In the Brave New World, Huxley envisaged a society in which babies were artificially procreated. Babies were ‘tailor made’ to fulfill specific tasks (was this a forecast of ‘Designer babies’ that appeared in the latter part of the 20th and early part of he 21st centuries?).
