ON THIS DAY: In 1978, Louise Brown was born in England... the world's first test-tube baby. The medical advancements that made her conception possible led, in part, to the Human Genome Project, which may lead to genetic engineering like that depicted in 1997's GATTACA, about a near-future dystopia in which one's GQ -- or genetic quotient -- determines one's entire life.
