A baby boy has been born to an Ohio couple from an embryo that was frozen for more than 30 years, reportedly setting a new world record.

Lindsey, 35, and Tim Pierce, 34, welcomed their son, Thaddeus Daniel Pierce, on Saturday. Ms Pierce told MIT Technology Review her family thought "it's like something from a sci-fi movie".

It is believed to be longest that an embryo has been frozen before resulting in a successful live birth. The previous record-holder was a pair of twins who were born in 2022 from embryos frozen in 1992.

What is amazing on it. They froze consciousness evolutionary process and after many years defrost it and it worked as usual. There are some animals that freeze totally even after adult stage and come back to life again when clime gets better, I think is a frog.

I wonder what the consciousness experience of an embryo being frozen for 30 years is.
