Test-tube babies. Conceptual artwork of babies in test tubes,representing the concept of in vitro fertilization (IVF),where fertilization occurs in the laboratory. The human reproductive cells of a man (sperm or spermatozoon) and a woman (ovum or egg) are brought together outside the body and the process of fertilization is engineered. The result is a fertilized egg that can be implanted in the uterus of a woman where it develops into a baby. IVF is used to treat infertility in men,as well as allowing stored and frozen sperm and eggs to be used from men and women who have had surgery,such as for a cancer,that removed their reproductive organs | |
