Britain's Robert Edwards, the "father of the test tube baby", won the 2010 Nobel Prize for Medicine on Monday for his work on in-vitro fertilisation, a "milestone" in medicine, the Nobel jury said."His achievements have made it possible to treat infertility, a medical condition afflicting a large proportion of humanity including more than 10 per cent of all couples worldwide," the Nobel Assembly at the Swedish Karolinska Institute said.
Edwards, 85, won the prestigious prize for his work on in-vitro fertilisation (IVF), which has helped millions of infertile couples to have a child.
