Bristol Books has supported Elizabeth Carr, the first person born through IVF in the USA by publishing "Under The Microscope" , where she gives a first-hand account of growing up under scrutiny after being the product of a scientific breakthrough.
The book outlines Elizabeth's unique story through a series of vignettes of her life, supplemented with additional context on the history of fertility treatment. Sponsored by US-based Brown Fertility, LifeView and Nikon the book was launched in Florida in early March 2022. It follows our publication of Louise Brown's book in 2015 - "My Life As The World's First Test Tube Baby" in hardback in 2015 and later in softback.
Elizabeth has been in the spotlight since she was three cells old when pictures taken with a microscope showed the cells dividing that were to become her. She is now a fearless patient advocate for those going through fertility treatment.
