She's not alone in asking. For while 
three decades have passed since the 
first test-tube baby was born in 
Britain, doubts persist about its 
longterm safety.

From the U.S. comes research that 
the common practice of storing 
fertilised embryos can provoke 
genetic changes that may develop 
into mental and behavioural 
disorders later in life; from Canada come 
claims that IVF can increase some 
birth defects tenfold; while from 
Denmark a study of young men finds 
those conceived through fertility 
treatment are 50 per cent more likely 
to be infertile themselves.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/health/healthmain.html?in_article_id=462644&in_page_id=1774&in_a_source="><P>
With all parties desperate for 
results, the tendency has been to use 
more drugs to produce more eggs and 
— hopefully — more babies. 
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/health/healthmain.html?in_article_id=462644&in_page_id=1774&in_a_source="><P>
But critics claim this approach has 
resulted in increased risks to the 
mother (cancers, clots and hyperstimulation) and to the unborn child, as 
well as an explosion in multiple births.
