It is believed to be longest that an embryo has been frozen before resulting in a successful live birth.

      Because, I shit you not, it’s cheaper than adoption in the US.

    For the “life begins at conception” folks, does this mean that the baby was born 30 years old?

        They never had taxes to pay with no income?

        If anything it’s a lot of past owed benefits that were never claimed.

      Actually I think it does because the article mentions a Christian group that does embryo adoption. They said they were “saving lives”

      Oh hell yeah. Start pumping them out after 70 years so they can collect Social Security from birth.

    The story gets less and less happy as it goes. Particularly the part where she insisted the embryo only go to a white Christian family.

      And that she wants to be involved in the kid’s life. Wonder what kind of relationship she has with her actual daughter.

      We can print DNA iirc, and I’d imagine that tech will only improve with time, so if we really needed to keep some DNA from before some event that degrades all DNA afterwards, it might just be kept around as a computer file and synthesized as needed rather than frozen in living cells.

      Giving birth to a kid born from your seventh great grandmother’s egg sounds like quite an odd scenario
