IVF: An Interview with Robin Marantz
Robin Marantz, author and historian of reproductive science, traces IVF from 19th-century artificial insemination to the 1960s–70s race that produced the first test-tube baby. Short, vivid stories cover scientific struggles, dramatic conflicts between researchers, surprising patient experiences, and how early choices set the stage for later debates about cloning and gene editing.
