Wrong name but I'll give you a :thumbs: anyway :p
The honour belongs to a girl, Louise Jay Brown of England, who was born on July 25, 1978, with the help of doctors Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards. When the concept of in vitro fertilization of humans was first introduced in the 1970s, the procedure was met with much criticism. More than 1 million babies have since been born via the process.
