Finally, the couple picked their frozen embryo, the future Emma Wren Gibson. While it’s presumed that Emma’s embryo was from a donation in 1992, the medical experts who performed the procedure note there’s no way to know for sure. Three frozen embryos were used for the procedure and no one can be certain which embryo took.
“Identifying the oldest known embryo is simply an impossibility,” said Dr. Zaher Merhi, director of IVF research and development at New Hope Fertility Center. Although the facility didn’t take part in the Gibson case, it’s familiar with similar practices and procedures. Merhi notes that American companies are not required to report to the government the age of an embryo used. As such, “nobody has these records.”
