Treatment is carried out Dr. Sergio Oehninger (Sergio Oehninger) from the Institute of Reproductive Medicine. Jones (Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine) at Eastern Virginia Medical School (Eastern Virginia medical school). This is the longest period that has already waited a fertilized egg. The child developed from this embryo is completely healthy. The child's mother is now in '42.
The child's parents have already passed through IVF at the birth of his eldest child in 1990. Then the eggs were fertilized 5. One of them has been successfully implanted in the uterus of the mother, the other four froze. When 20 years later the pair decided to have a baby again, thawed embryos. Two of them died during the defrost, the other two litters in the uterus. However, only one embryo survived.

"The human embryo from the moment of fertilization has the same value as the adult personality" - the document says.
