Girl Born From 22-Year Old Sperm

By Queuebot in Health on Apr 17, 2009 at 12:08 am

Chris Biblis was 16 when his leukemia treatment required radiation that would leave him sterile. He cryogenically froze his sperm and 22 years later…voila! Baby girl! This is the record setting amount of time sperm has been frozen and successfully used to conceive a baby. The technology to do this wasn’t even around when it was frozen!

“The case is being hailed as an illustration of how far infertility treatment has advanced in the past two decades and proof that sperm can remain viable for decades if they are preserved in liquid nitrogen. The previous record was 21 years.”

    Damn it’s a girl. That totally screws up my, “Did they name it Ben or Jerry?” joke.

    It says they didn’t have the technology then. Did he just stick it in the fridge?

    So one day I could father a child several hundreds of years into the future?

    :shock: …Complicated. Then your biological father could be something like your great great great great grandfather?

    Name: Cosmo Johnson
    Date of birth: 2452
    Father: Abe Johnson – Birthdate: 1972
    Mother: Becky Green – Birthdat: 2431

    :-? Confusing dates…..

    And if Cosmo has his sperm frozen his son could be born i the year 3000 or so, having a grandfather been born 1000 years ago.
