Vin Garbutt released “Dish of Glass” in 1986 on The By-pass Syndrome.

He describes an "in vitro" embryo about to be destroyed in a laboratory. It is not clear - to me, at least - whether the song is totally opposed to "in vitro" fertilisation and "test tube" babies.

Well I can’t get hold of that dish of glass
Though I’m all geared to cling to it fast
It’s my first and only home and my last
And I’m dying
