The sperm and egg used to create him are 30 years old frozen and he is born 30 years later.



We can say he is the world's oldest baby because he got born 30 years after he got fertilized as an embryo. 30 years ago a couple had IVF to have a daughter. Because they got 3 extra embryos they donated it to couples with no sperm and eggs. So a couple got a 30 year old embryo as donation and that is how he is born. The Baby is older than his parents

This is interesting. Do we count the date when the sperms were stored or the date of conception?

[Netherrealmer]

The sperm and egg are 30 years old

[kat82]

30 years old but baby is new. Do the owners still existing?

They still exist and wants to meet the baby someday

[eldavis]

This is wonderful, but hope this won't have any side effects on the baby?

[Netherrealmer]

He is healthy but its weird that he is 5 years older than his new parent

[eldavis]

Lol yes that's pretty weird though, but then again the world these days is full of weird things.

So they are donors not parents right?

[Netherrealmer]

They are biological parents but the one who gives birth are the legal parents

That is how science confuses me. Biological vs legal.

It’s astounding that this baby is older than the parents, but it’s good he’s healthy. Science really does some surprising things.

This is quite interesting!
In one way, the baby is 30 years old!
In another term, we cannot say as it got on its real journey later on.

Indeed, baby is 30 years old. Science is interesting.

Various Educational Institutions would have to define new frameworks and norms for admissions now. A big question for them would be "What age do we mark officially?"

That’s a tricky question. If schools fix only on age, some kids may be held back or pushed too fast. Maybe the best way is to set an official minimum age but also check the child’s readiness. That balance could make admissions fair and flexible at the same time.

Well, based on the birth certificate of the baby, he's not yet one years old. But based on the age of the embryo where he came from, he's 30 years old. But as a human, he's just not yet one years old.

[Tendz]

As a person he’s just starting life, but the science behind him being preserved for 30 years is what makes it so amazing.

That's my only concern. If the child is healthy, that's what matters.
Surrogacy has been around for a long time. To me, this is just a scientific method.

Well, based on the birth certificate of the baby, he's not yet one years old. But based on the age of the embryo where he came from, he's 30 years old. But as a human, he's just not yet one years old.

So the baby is multiple age. 1 year and then 30 years old. So the birth certificate should have the 2.
