Subject: Embryo Frozen for 24 Years is Finally Born |
URL: http://www.libertyheadlines.com/embryo-frozen-24-years-finally-born/?AID=7236 |

A woman in East Tennessee has delivered the longest-frozen embryo to successfully be birthed – 24 years.
Emma Wren was born to Benjamin and Tina Gibson last month, weighing 6 pounds, 8 ounces and measuring 20 inches long.
Prior to being transferred into Tina’s uterus at the National Embryo Donation Center in Knoxville earlier this year, Emma was cryopreserved for more than 24 years.
According to research staff at the University of Tennessee Preston Medical Library, baby Emma now holds the record for the longest-frozen embryo to be birthed.
Emma was frozen Oct. 14, 1992, and thawed by NEDC Lab Director Carol Sommerfelt March 13, 2017.
Tina became pregnant with Emma as the result of a frozen embryo transfer performed by the medical director of the clinic, Dr. Jeffrey Keenan, two day later.

Gee, now I gotta wonder if her destiny was put on hold in the other realms/dimensions, or if she's considered "on time." (big grin, couldn't resist.)

Personally I find this troubling. Who knows who or what could
have tinkered with the frozen embryo over 24 years.
