Many experts have stated that the last embryo that held the record for being the oldest known embryo to result in a healthy baby, had been frozen for 20 years- nearly five years less than the Gibsons’. Carol Sommerfelt, the lab director who thawed the embryo, said, “It was very rewarding for me to see that the techniques that we were using 25 years ago to freeze the embryos did preserve them to the extent that they could survive being thawed.” She continued, “If embryos are maintained correctly… those embryos could be good indefinitely. In other words, they’re frozen in time.”
