iMinds is a company that produces brief audio introductions to subjects of historical and/or scientific interest. Usually spoken over soft, pulsating music reminiscent of science fiction films, their introductions are like mini-encyclopedia entries meant to awaken a listener’s interest in a given field. Ellouise Rothwell narrates this audiobook in a pleasing, suspense-inducing Australian accent.
In this instalment, listeners are taken into the history and science of in vitro fertilization, perhaps the single most important technological development in human procreation. While the first report of successful in vitro fertilization happened in the 19th century, widespread use of the practice was not common until the 1920s. Its bumpy history includes denunciations from the pope, but many thousands of couples would not have been able to conceive without it.
