'World's oldest baby' born from embryo frozen in 1994
SUMMARY: Thaddeus, born in Ohio, is now the world’s oldest baby conceived from an embryo frozen in 1994—over 30 years ago. His adoptive parents, Tim and Lindsey Pierce, who had struggled to conceive for seven years, received the embryo through a Christian embryo adoption agency. The embryo was originally created by Linda Archer and her then-husband using early IVF technology. Despite the embryo’s age, doctors confirm embryos frozen correctly can be as healthy as fresh ones. Thaddeus’s birth raises ethical questions about frozen embryos’ future and ownership, with around one million frozen in U.S. storage. Linda notes Thaddeus resembles her 30-year-old daughter.
