Thaddeus Daniel Pierce, born on Saturday July 26 in Ohio, comes from in vitro fertilization (IVF). His “adopted” embryo had been stored for more than 30 years.
Lindsey Pierce assures her: her husband and she did not try to “Beat records”but just wanted “Having a baby”. On Saturday, Lindsey, 35, and Tim Pierce, 34, welcomed their son, Thaddeus Daniel Pierce, whose embryo had been frozen for more than 30 years, establishing a new world record. “Our birth has been difficult, but we are both going well nowsaid the American mother at MIT Technology Review, who had been looking to have a child for over seven years. With my husband, nWe are amazed to have this precious baby. “
It is the longest period of time identified during which an embryo was frozen before giving rise to a successful living birth. The previous official record was held by twins born in 2022 from frozen embryos in 1992. Thaddeus Daniel Pierce was born in Ohio (United States) from an embryo of Linda Arche, 62.

In the early 1990s, the latter and her husband decided to try in vitro fertilization (IVF) after having encountered difficulties in conceiving a child. In 1994, she created four embryos, one of them of which became her daughter, now 30 years old. The other three were cryoconse and stored. After her divorce, Linda Arche obtained custody of the embryos to avoid their destruction.
Couple choice
The American spent thousands of dollars a year to maintain their conservation, until she discovered a Christian embryos adoption agency, “Nightlight Christian Adoptions”, where donors and recipients each have their say on the allocation of embryos, reports the BBC. The course chosen by Linda Arche allowed him to select the couple adopting according to their religious, racial and national preferences: married, white, Christian and living in the United States. A choice that enabled him to come into contact with the couple of young thirties.
“It’s worthy of a science fiction film”breath Lindsey Pierce from MIT Technology Review. “The first thing I noticed when Lindsey sent me his photos, it is how much he looks like my baby daughter, said Linda Archerd, who claims not to have yet met the young Thaddeus Daniel Pierce. I released my baby album and compared them, and there is no doubt that they are brother and sister. ”
Director of the Procreation Medical Assistance Center, John Gordon, an endocrinologist of reproduction, assures to our colleagues having “Certain guiding principles that arise from (his) faith”. “Each embryo deserves a chance to live, and the only embryo who cannot give birth to a healthy baby is the one who has not had the possibility of being transferred in a patient”he commented after supervising the process.
