test-tube baby
A test-tube baby is a term commonly used to refer to a baby conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF). This is a process where an egg is fertilized by sperm outside of the body, in a lab. The fertilized egg, or embryo, is then implanted into the woman's uterus. The term "test-tube baby" is somewhat misleading, as the process does not actually involve a traditional test tube, but rather a petri dish or other similar lab equipment.
