Lesley Brown - "Test-tube Mother"

Lesley Brown attracted world-wide attention on July 25, 1978 when she gave birth to the first baby conceived through in vitro fertilization. Her daughter was known as the "test-tube baby". The procedure would be popularized to the extent that over 4 million babies have been born using that method.

She died on June 6, 2012 at the age of 64 in Bristol, England of complications from a gall bladder infection.

Her daughter's birth was quite controversial because it was in uncharted waters. Her neighborhood was surrounded by a huge media presence upon the birth. Four years later, she would conceive again using the same method.
