Greek Woman Gives Birth Using Embryo Frozen for Over 22 Years After Son's Death
A 54-year-old Greek woman, Cristina Rapti-Tzelepi, gave birth to a healthy baby girl using an embryo frozen for over 22 years, marking one of the longest successful embryo cryopreservations leading to live birth. The embryo was from the same batch as their late son Giorgos, who died in a road accident. The couple named their daughter Georgia in his memory. The birth occurred amid Greece's age restrictions on IVF, requiring medical approval due to the mother's age.
