Named Thaddeus Daniel Pierce, he was born on July 26 and is believed to be the world’s ‘oldest baby’, as his embryo had been frozen for over 30 years.
Earlier, the record was held by twins born in Oregon in 2022. Their embryos had been stored for three decades before they were used.
So, how was Thaddeus’s embryo first created?
The world’s ‘oldest baby’
Thaddeus Daniel Pierce was born from an embryo that had been stored for 30 and a half years.
He holds the record for the ‘oldest baby’, surpassing the previous record held by a pair of twins born in Oregon in 2022.
Lindsey Pierce and her husband, Tim Pierce, who live in London, Ohio, ‘adopted’ the embryo from a woman who had it created back in 1994.
Speaking to MIT Technology Review, Lindsey said her family and church community think “it’s like something from a sci-fi movie.”
She also said that “the baby has a 30-year-old sister.”
