Boy born from embryo frozen 16 years ago

A healthy baby boy has been born from an embryo frozen 16 years ago, a hospital in South China announced on Monday.

A 46-year-old woman gave birth to her second son at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangdong province early this month. "I'm ecstatic to have another child," she said.

Her first son, already 16 years old, was from the same batch of embryos frozen in 2000. She gave birth to him through in vitro fertilization after the hospital froze her 18 other embryos.
