Linda Geddes finds out if the kids are alright.<\/h4>\n<aside class=\"article__aside\">\n<div class=\"article__aside__section article__share-buttons\" role=\"group\">\n<div class=\"share-buttons\" role=\"group\">\n<p>Lesley and John Brown had been trying to conceive for nine years. The ongoing failures took their toll: Lesley became depressed, and at one point suggested that John find a \u201cnormal woman\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, she was referred to Patrick Steptoe, a gynaecologist at Oldham General Hospital in Greater Manchester. He offered Lesley an experimental treatment he had been working on with his colleague Robert Edwards. The procedure would use a long, slender probe to pluck an egg from one of Lesley\u2019s ovaries, before mixing it with some of John\u2019s sperm and nurturing the developing embryo outside of her body. Finally, the embryo would be placed into Lesley\u2019s womb, where hopefully it would continue to develop. At the time, the technique had never before resulted in the birth of a live baby.<\/p>\n<p>Nine months later, at 11.47pm on 25 July 1978, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed baby girl was born, weighing 5 pounds and 12 ounces. Her parents chose her first name, while Steptoe and Edwards suggested a middle name. Louise Joy Brown \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mosaicscience.com\/extra\/louise-brown\">the world\u2019s first test-tube baby, born through assisted reproductive technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuperbabe,\u201d read the headline in the\u00a0<em>Evening News<\/em>. \u201cThe Lovely Louise,\u201d shouted the\u00a0<em>Daily Mail<\/em>. Public reaction was generally positive \u2013 a Gallup survey of Americans had 53 per cent of those polled saying that they\u2019d be willing to undergo IVF if they were unable to conceive naturally. Acceptance was not unanimous of course. \u201cThe fact that science now has the ability to alter this [process] does not mean that, morally speaking, it has the right to do so,\u201d said Reverend Thomas C Kelly, the US General Secretary of Catholic Bishops, in a\u00a0<em>Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0article shortly after Louise\u2019s birth. People had concerns. The technology was, some felt, unnatural. What kinds of families would it produce? Would the kids be okay?<\/p>\n<p>Today, the days of the nuclear family \u2013 a man, a wife, 2.4 kids \u2013 seem increasingly numbered. Divorce is common. Gay and lesbian parents can adopt or conceive biological children of their own thanks to egg donation and surrogacy. And the possibilities for new types of family continue to grow: single mothers by choice, who decide from the outset to have a baby without a visible father; methuselah mums having babies in their 60s. They raise fresh questions about the relationship of parent to child, the relative contributions of mothers and fathers to a child\u2019s development, and what exactly it means to be a family.<\/p>\n<h4>Reference:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Stonewall\u2019s\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stonewall.org.uk\/documents\/different_families_final_for_web.pdf\">Different Families<\/a><\/em>\u00a0report on the experiences of children with lesbian and gay parents.<\/li>\n<li>Advice on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dcnetwork.org\/telling-your-child\">telling your child about donor conception<\/a>, from the Donor Conception Network.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cafcass.gov.uk\/media\/213038\/10_questions.pdf\">Putting children first during divorce and separation<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 advice from the UK Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service.<\/li>\n<li>Susan Golombok\u2019s book\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/gb\/academic\/subjects\/psychology\/developmental-psychology\/modern-families-parents-and-children-new-family-forms\">Modern Families<\/a><\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><iframe style=\"width: 100%; height: 750px; border: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/online.visual-paradigm.com\/share\/book\/exploding-the-nuclear-family-zcempg9i?enforceShowPromotionBar=true\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7998,"template":"","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Intuitive online diagram maker -
