Molly Gibson is an American girl noted for being born from an embryo that had been frozen for 28 years, holding the previous [1] world record for the longest-frozen embryo to result in a successful birth. [2] [3] [4] [5] She was born on October 26, 2020.
After being donated by a couple in 1992, the embryo of Molly was frozen and stored in a cryogenic freezer. [6] It was later thawed and transferred to the uterus of 28-year-old Tina Gibson in February 2020. Tina, born in April 1991, was less than two years old when the embryo was originally donated to a fertility clinic in the Midwest. [7] The Gibsons had earlier adopted another donated embryo, Emma, which had been frozen for 24 years and previously held the record for the longest-frozen embryo in history to result in a live birth until Molly surpassed it.
