用于治疗人类不育症的试管婴儿和胚胎移植现已导致400多万婴儿的出生。这项技术并不是作为量子事件出现的，而是建立在生殖内分泌学和发育领域许多早期工作者的努力之上。人们应该记住艾萨克·牛顿的名言：“如果我比大多数人看得更远，那是因为我站在巨人的肩膀上。伦理和道德问题总是出现在研究人员研究早期哺乳动物的发展，特别是人类的发展。本文记录了这些早期的研究，并提请注意不可避免地出现的伦理和道德的争论。RBMOnline（c）2012，生殖保健有限公司。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
IVF and embryo transfer for the treatment of human infertility has now resulted in the birth of over 4 million babies. The technique did not arise as a quantum event but was built on the efforts of many earlier workers in the fields of reproductive endocrinology and development. One should remember the famous saying of Isaac Newton: 'If I have seen further than most, it is because I have stood on the shoulder's of giants'. Ethical and moral issues have always arisen when investigators study early mammalian development, particularly human development. This paper documents these earlier studies and also draws attention to the ethical and moral arguments that inevitably arose. RBMOnline (c) 2012, Reproductive Healthcare Ltd.
