Record-breaking baby born from oldest ever embryo
The embryo was created in 1994, when the adoptive father was still a toddler. A Christian "embryo adoption" agency facilitated the donation.
Entering the world on 26 July, Thaddeus Daniel Pierce was born from an embryo that had been stored in a tank for just over 30 years, as reported by MIT Technology Review.
That embryo was "adopted" from the biological mother, who had kept it frozen since 1994, by Lindsey and Tim Pierce, who live in Ohio.
His adopted dad Tim was just a toddler when the embryo was created, and Thaddeus also has a biological sister who is now 30, with her own 10-year-old daughter.
It all came about because both the biological mother and the adopting parents were linked up by a Christian "embryo adoption" agency.
