World’s ‘oldest baby’ born from embryo frozen in 1994

The article reports the birth of the world's "oldest baby" in Ohio, USA. The parents, Lindsey and Tim Pierce, used an IVF embryo that had been frozen since 1994 and was "adopted" from Linda Archerd, who is now 62 years old. The embryo was frozen for more than 30 years before being implanted and resulting in the birth of Thaddeus Daniel Pierce on July 26th. This case highlights the advancements in cryopreservation technology and the growing use of embryo adoption, allowing for the possibility of giving birth to children from embryos that have been stored for decades.
