A baby boy has been born in the U.S. from an embryo frozen for over three decades, setting a new record for the longest-stored embryo to result in a successful live birth.
Thaddeus Daniel Pierce, a baby boy born on July 26, 2025, to parents Lindsey (35) and Tim Pierce (34) in Ohio, is being called the world’s “oldest baby.”
According to the MIT Technology Review, the embryo that he was born from was created via in vitro fertilization (IVF) in 1994 and cryopreserved for 30 years.
The parents adopted the embryo from US-based Linda Archerd (now aged 62).

This will stimulate a lot of “legal” questions:
How old is the child?
Is there child support issues?
Are there health implications or developmental concerns?
I was thinking the other night, when the local TV and Comcast weren’t “speaking” to each other, why can’t I just use an app on my phone to debug the problem?
Everything was on the same LAN. We had the TV remote and the Cable remote.
But wasn’t that completely unnecessary?

Also I’ve been a sports bars where the patrons were forced to watch whatever was on at the time, when voting to change the channel could have easily been accommodated by a common app.
And, how about putting on the closed caption feature for those of us who need it. Rather than forcing us to buy an expensive hearing aid.
