‘World’s oldest baby’ from an embryo frozen in storage tank for a little over 30 years has been born.
The baby, named Thaddeus Daniel Pierce, was born on 26 July, 2025, in Ohio, USA to Lindsey and Tim Pierce.
The embryo, from a lady named Linda Archerd, now 62 years, and fertilized by her husband who were both undergoing IVF treatment, was among four embryos stored since 1994.
Linda divorced from her husband after using one of the embryos and giving birth to a daughter, and gave up the three unused embryos.
With permission, one of the embryos was implanted into the uterus of Lindsey Pierce in November, 2024, and developed to full term and was born on 26 July, 2025.
The former record of 28 years was held by Molly Gibson, who was born on October 26, 2020, also in USA.
