Test-tube Baby:

  1. The term "Test tube baby" refers to a child conceived outside of a woman's body.
  2. The process of in vitro fertilization is used in laboratories to create test-tube babies.
  3. During this process, the sperm and egg are fertilized, then implanted inside the uterus of the biological mother or surrogate mother.
  4. While they are called test-tube babies, they are not developed in test tubes.
  5. An embryo is a fertilized egg cell that has been protected for a few more days in a laboratory before it is transferred to the mother's uterus.
