Louise Brown

“When I was a little girl, my mum and dad showed me all the films of my birth. It was like watching home movies but with a lot more doctors and nurses in it.”

“I'm not a freak. I'm not a monster. I'm just a normal person.”

“My mum was the pioneer, I was just the baby.”

“It doesn't matter how you are born, it is what you do with your life that counts.”

“It's nice to have a little bit of anonymity, but I've always known who I am.”

“I have received letters from all over the world from people struggling to conceive. It is a privilege to know my story has given them hope.”

“Without IVF, I wouldn't be here, and my son wouldn't be here.”

“Robert Edwards is like a grandfather to me.”
