In Battle of the Test Tubes: The Early History of IVF, John Leeton, himself a key participant in the development of in vitro fertilisation, tells with award-winning journalist Robyn Riley the story of his friend Carl Wood, the early days of IVF, and the battle between research teams in Australia and the United Kingdom to create and implement this profoundly important medical procedure. This is the remarkable and inspiring story of one of the great medical achievements of the twentieth century.
John Leeton was described by Carl Wood as the ‘linchpin’ of the Monash IVF program. He developed and managed the early Monash clinical research programs, which included the world’s first IVF pregnancy, many of the world’s earliest IVF babies, the world’s first donor egg baby and Australia’s first IVF surrogate pregnancy. He retired in 2001 and was awarded a Member of Australia in 2002 for his contribution to women’s health.
