'Emma is a sweet miracle,' said father Benjamin Gibson, 'She looks perfect after all those years of freezing cold'.

Another interesting fact in this miracle story is that Emma is only 1.5 years younger than her mother.

'The oldest known embryo identification is simply impossible' , Mr. Merhi said, 'Nobody has data'.

However, those who carried out the embryo shift Emma had strongly defended their figures.'We have our own medical library, very good at finding information, to see if we can find something much longer than that and we didn't find it,' said Dr. Jeffrey Keenan - who perform embryonic transfer to respond to NBC News TV channel.

'I think this is fair to say this is not the oldest conception, but it is also among the oldest pregnancies. I myself did not know of any medical report about a longer-term fetus that survived, 'said Dr. David Adamson, director of the Arc Breeding Center in California.
