First patient treated with human embryonic stem cells

A persistent lady who had undergone 10 years of infertility treatment manages to give birth to a healthy baby from an embryo frozen for almost 20 years. However, the newborn of the new baby boy created a controversial issue. Opponents claimed that the baby could be a generation before she was born or to the biological offspring of her mother or her grandmother. Besides, the embryo is taken from the embryo from a couple who no longer need them after they had a child from IVF treatment. Therefore, the new born baby boy is the siblings of the IVF child although he is born almost 20 years apart.
