Lydia Ann and Timothy Ronald Ridgeway were born on 31 October 2022
Twin babies have been born to an Oregon couple from embryos frozen more than 30 years ago.
It is believed to be a new record for the longest-frozen embryos ever to result in a successful live birth.
They were stored at around -196C (-323F) in liquid nitrogen on 22 April 1992.
Rachel Ridgeway, a mother of four from Oregon, gave birth to the twins on 31 October. The father, Philip Ridgeway, said it was "mind-boggling".
Lydia Ann and Timothy Ronald Ridgeway likely set a new record, according to the National Embryo Donation Center (NEDC), a private faith-based organisation that says it has helped birth more than 1,200 infants from donated embryos.
My inference: I got this from the internet. With this new breakthrough of medical science, there would be no more issues of unwanted and teen-pregnancies. The women can get pregnant anytime suitable for themselves. The Rohini-Devaki story of giving birth to Balram has come true. With the hardworking and genius scientists around, I don't think anything is impossible, if not now, then in the near future. Hats off !
