Since the first test tube baby, more and more women desire to have children by IVF. In 1987 the science evolved so much that it could help in the birth of Louise Joy Brown.

Robert Edwards and Patrick Steptoe from Cambridge University helped in delivering baby Louise, who is now 30, on July 25, 1987, by Caesarean. The event served as hope for many women who couldn’t have children on a natural way.

Still, experts announced that as the number of women willing to have babies through IVF increases, there must be given certain safety procedures. At first there has to be a change when it comes about the tourism that puts women and babies at risk.

Many couples take big risks when travelling to make the IVF cheaper. Some clinics don’t have adequate standards and sometimes the women don’t know where the sperm comes from or they could be fertilized with more embryos.

So, fertility experts want to set some international standards as to help the women choose the safest place to go and get pregnant.

Since 1987, more than 3.5 million babies have been born this way and most of the treatments are used on women aged between 30 and 40. 500,000 babies born through IVF were delivered in America.

In vitro fertilization supposes a removal of the eggs from a woman’s ovaries and combines them with sperm in the lab. After that doctors pick the best embryos and implant them in the woman’s uterus.

Europe and the United States hold the first two top places in using IVF, but in some countries, as Italy, freezing embryos is illegal.
