To the OP: your post has not been deleted, but is being held in the queue and will be approved once a submission statement is posted.

Comments or posts that don't follow the rules may be removed without warning. Reddit's content policy will be strictly enforced, especially regarding hate speech and calls for / celebrations of violence, and may result in a restriction in your participation.

On July 26th, 2025, the screams of a newborn rang out as Lindsey and Tim Pierce of Ohio welcomed their firstborn son, Thaddeus Daniel Pierce. The peculiar thing about Thaddeus, a healthy baby, was that he was born from an embryo that was frozen for more than 30 years

The embryo that Thaddeus came from was created in 1994 through in vitro fertilization (IVF) by Linda Archerd, who then donated it through the Snowflakes Embryo Adoption Program

At the time of implantation in Lindsey, the embryo had spent well over 11,000 days in cryogenic storage, which preserves materials at extremely low temperatures to maintain integrity and prevent degradation

This makes it the longest successful embryo cryogenic storage on record that resulted in a healthy baby
