Medical excellence again proved with the birth of miracle baby in the United States. A US woman has successfully delivered a baby with a 25-year-old frozen embryo the longest known frozen human embryo.
Frozen as embryo on October 14, 1992, Emma Wren was born to Tina Gibson on November 25, 2017, weighing 6 pounds 8 ounces and measuring 20 inches long.
Previously, the oldest known frozen embryo that came to successful birth was 20 years old. When Gibson got married seven years ago, her husband had cystic fibrosis, a condition that can make men infertile.
The couple decided to adopt a child. In the meantime, they would foster several children. Then, last year, her father told them about embryo adoption, where an embryo will be implanted in the body helping them to carry a baby.
In August 2016, Gibson submitted an application for the adoption and by spring had three embryos from the same anonymous donor transferred into her uterus.
