　　What's the most important thing in life?

　　People's answers vary greatly. For British scientist Robert Edwards，the answer is having a child."Nothing is more special than a child，" he told the BBC.

　　Edwards, the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)technology - more commonly known as "test­tube (试管) baby"technology - passed away on April 10,2013 at the age of 87.

"Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高兴) in the gift of their own child，" said Peter Braude, a professor at King's College London."He leaves the world a much better place."
