Mark Plus http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/story/0,,1939377,00.html Baby born a record 13 years after embryo was frozen Giles Tremlett in Madrid Saturday November 4, 2006 The Guardian The child could have been born in 1993 but its first experience of the world came 13 years later, or nine months after an embryo was pulled out of the freezer at a Spanish fertility clinic. The clinic in Barcelona is claiming the world record for having brought about the birth of what could be termed the world's oldest baby. Conceived in a laboratory dish, but not used at the time, the embryo sat at minus 196C in a freezer cabinet awaiting its adoptive parents. _________________________________________________________________ Get today's hot entertainment gossip http://movies.msn.com/movies/hotgossip?icid=T002MSN03A07001 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=28639
