The National Embryo Donation Center's embryo programme has led to around 700 pregnancies and with Doctor Jeffrey Kennan hopeful Emma's birth will encourage others to donate to help more families.

"It is deeply moving and highly rewarding to see that embryos frozen 24.5 years ago using the old, early cryopreservation techniques of slow freezing on day one of development at the pronuclear stage can result in 100 percent survival of the embryos with a 100 percent continued proper development to the day-3 embryo stage." said NEDC Lab Director Carol Sommerfelt.

"I will always remember what the Gibsons said when presented with the picture of their embryos at the time of transfer - 'These embryos could have been my best friends," as Tina herself was only 25 at the time of transfer."

该捐献中心的实验室主任Carol Sommerfelt说，“这是非常令人感动和有价值的，看到胚胎24.5年前使用早期的冷冻技术，从原核期胚胎缓慢冻结，到百分百地存活到现在，这是非常令人感动和有价值的。我永远都会记得，在移植的时候，Gibsons说‘这些胚胎可能是我最好的朋友’’，”因为当时Tina自己只有25岁。”

Deeply moving：感人至深

Cryopreservation：低温保存
