Following the announcement, Professor Christer Höög told senior editor Simon Frantz how the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is unique in Nobel Prize history, as this year's prize is the first awarded in the area of reproduction. Christer Höög explained that recent follow up studies showing that IVF children are as healthy as normally conceived children, were a contributing factor for awarding Robert G. Edwards the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2010 and not earlier.

There's hundreds of potential applications of IVF and the concepts and techniques developed to make it possible (many of which Robert Edward perfected over the years) can be used to help humanity. Potentially even beating starvation.

I billion people on this planet starving, The greatest Depression ever to be seen on Earth coming soon and they give out a Nobel in Medicine to a guy who finds a way to produce even more humans faster on the planet.
That is supposed to advance Humanity?
