Biography
American twins noted as the first IVF or "test tube" twins born in the USA. Born one minute apart, with Heather Jean (female) coming at 10:53 and Todd Macdonald II (male) born at 10:54 AM, they were delivered by caesarean section at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset. They were the family's first set to be conceived in vitro after mother Nancy had four of her own fertilized eggs re-implanted in her uterus at Eastern Virginia Medical School in July 1982.
