Pronunciation: [tˈɛsttjˈuːb bˈe͡ɪbi] (IPA) 
A test-tube baby is a term that was used to refer to a child that was conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology. This term has become less commonly used as society has become more aware of the implications of the expression. Today, some of the more commonly used terms include IVF baby, assisted reproductive technology (ART) baby, or fertility treatment baby. Some synonyms focus on the scientific aspects of the technology, like laboratory-created baby or lab-conceived baby. In contrast, others prefer to focus on the outcome of the technology, such as miracle baby or perfect baby. Ultimately, the terminology used in reference to children conceived this way reflects the social norms and values of the time.
