1913‐88 British obstetrician-gynaecologist. He served as director of the Human Reproduction Centre in Oldham, a city northeast of Birmingham. In collaboration with RG Edwards, he delivered the first "test-tube baby" in 1978. The method involves mixing an egg and sperm in a glass vessel, observing the passage of time, and then returning the egg to the mother, but there is debate as to whether discarding the fertilised egg that is not returned can be considered an "induced abortion". It is also technically possible to return the egg to the uterus of another woman or animal, so their work is fraught with delicate issues for the future.

1913‐88 イギリスの産婦人科医師。バーミンガム北東の都市オールダムの人間生殖センター所長をつとめた。R.G.エドワーズに協力して,1978年最初の“試験管ベビー”を出産させた。ガラス器内で卵と精子を混ぜ,ある時間経過を観察してから母体に戻す方法であるが,戻さない受精卵をそのまま捨てることが〈人工中絶〉と言えるとの議論がある。また母体以外の他の婦人や動物の子宮に戻すことも,技術的には考えられるなど,彼らの仕事は,今後に微妙な問題もはらんでいる。 出典 株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について 情報 |
