Test-tube baby?
A Hamilton woman will have the first “test-tube” baby born in New Zealand if five years of planning is successful. A Melbourne medical team will try to repeat with her a process of • in-vitro fertilisation which has already resulted in the birth of a “test-tube” baby in Australia.
The Hamilton woman already has four children but wants to have a baby by her second husband. She has had an operation involving the removal of both fallopian tubes.
A Christchurch woman, Mrs Lynn Simeon, has also been cleared to have a “test-tube” baby and this may be born next year.
