LONDON, Apr 11: Robert Edwards, the scientist known as the father of IVF for pioneering the development of “test tube babies” for couples unable to conceive naturally, died yesterday aged 87. The Briton, who won the Nobel medicine prize for his achievement in 2010, started developing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in 1955 – work that culminated in 1978 in the birth of Louise Brown, the first so-called test tube baby.
