Record Surpassed: Baby Born from Embryo Frozen for More Than 27 Years

 
NEWS PROVIDED BY
National Embryo Donation Center (NEDC)
Nov. 30, 2020

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 30, 2020 /Christian Newswire/ -- An East Tennessee baby whose birth was facilitated by the National Embryo Donation Center (NEDC) has made history with her arrival. Molly Everette Gibson, the daughter of Tina and Ben Gibson, spent more than 27 years as an embryo in frozen preservation, setting the new known record for the longest-frozen embryo to ever come to birth, according to research staff at the University of Tennessee Preston Medical Library.

Molly was frozen on October 14, 1992. She was thawed by NEDC Lab Director & Embryologist Carol Sommerfelt on February 10, 2020 and transferred to Tina's uterus by NEDC President & Medical Director Dr. Jeffrey Keenan on February 12, 2020. She was born October 26, 2020, weighing 6 lbs. 13 oz. and measuring 19 inches long.

What makes all of this even more special is that Molly broke her own sister's record! Fellow NEDC baby Emma Wren Gibson, born in 2017, had been frozen for more than 24 years, holding the known record for longest-frozen embryo to come to birth until Molly's arrival. Both girls were frozen together as embryos and are full genetic siblings.

"I think this is proof positive that no embryo should ever be discarded, certainly not because it is 'old!'" said Dr. Keenan. "This is also a testament to the excellent embryology work of Carol Sommerfelt. She is perhaps the preeminent embryologist in the country when it comes to thawing frozen embryos. And of course it's a testament to how good God is, and to His infinite goodness and love."

"When Tina and Ben returned for their sibling transfer, I was thrilled that the remaining two embryos from the donor that resulted in Emma Wren's birth survived the thaw and developed into two very good quality embryos for their transfer," said Sommerfelt. "It was even more thrilling to learn 11 days later that Tina was pregnant.  I rejoiced with Tina and Ben as we all anxiously waited for the arrival of their second child."

Sommerfelt added, "When Molly Everette was born on October 26, she was already 28 years old from the standpoint of the time the embryos had been frozen. This definitely reflects on the technology used all those years ago and its ability to preserve the embryos for future use under an indefinite time frame.  It also shows the reason the NEDC mission is so important, giving all donated embryos the best chance for life." 

The faith-based NEDC has gained distinction as the world's leading comprehensive embryo adoption program, with more births facilitated (more than 1,000) through embryo adoption than any other organization or clinic. Its dual purpose is to protect the lives and dignity of frozen embryos that would not be used by their genetic parents and to help other couples build the families they have longed for via donated embryos. Embryos have been donated to the NEDC from all 50 states and couples have traveled to Knoxville from all over the United States as well as some foreign countries for their embryo transfers.

By Maria V. Gallagher,
Legislative/PAC Director
Thanksgiving 2020 is challenging for many people across the U.S., with concerns about COVID-19 wreaking havoc with many holiday plans. Some families face separations, others illness. The hardships can seem difficult to bear, especially given the myriad of other crosses we have experienced this year. And yet, I find myself in a spirit of gratitude this Thanksgiving in this year-like-no-other. Here are five reasons I am thankful this holiday: READ MORE

SPECIAL EVENTS
43rd Annual Pro-Life Breakfast in Erie
Our 43rd Annual Pro-Life Breakfast has been postponed due to the current COVID restrictions and the increasingly dim prospects for any major relaxation of the restrictions before the original date of January 16. About 600 people usually attend the Pro-Life Breakfast, but the Grand Ballroom at the Bayfront Convention Center, which has been home for the Breakfast for a number of years, is currently restricted to an occupancy of 180 people at most. Also because of COVID, our popular buffet breakfast would have to be replaced with a plated meal with a higher price tag and less to eat.
At this time, April 24 looks likely to be the new target date, but please stay tuned for more information.
Gettysburg Pro-Life Prayer Rally
Adams County Pennsylvanians for Human Life is sponsoring the annual Pro-Life Prayer Rally in front of the Adams County Courthouse, 111 Baltimore Street, Gettysburg, on Friday, January 22, 2021, from Noon  to 12:30 p.m.  Everyone is welcome to join us for a time of prayer for, and remembrance of, the more than 62 million innocent babies who have lost their precious lives to abortion in the United States over the past 48 years since the Supreme Court wrongly decided Roe v. Wade.  For more information about this event contact chapter president Ruth Santino at ruthsantino@yahoo.com.
Erie March for Life
The 2021 Erie March for Life will take place as originally scheduled, on Saturday, January 23, 2021, just six days before the 48th Annual March for Life in Washington, DC. The March will be held in downtown Erie, once again. Please watch for an announcement about the exact staging location and route. The March will conclude as is customary, with a brief program of speakers.
The City of Erie has a moratorium on special event permits due to COVID. If the moratorium is lifted before January 23, the March will look very much same as it has in recent years. However, without a special events permit, we will be unable to march on the city streets or have full use of the Pavilion in west Perry Square. Instead, we will march on the sidewalks, observing the normal rules for pedestrians. We will also take care to observe all applicable COVID health and safety guidelines.
