World's ‘oldest baby' born from an embryo stored more than 30 years ago
Thaddeus Daniel Pierce was born on July 26 having been developed from an embryo that was created in 1994 Lindsey and Tim Pierce, who live in Ohio, "adopted" the embryo from the biological mother The world's oldest baby has been born from an embryo that was stored more than 30 years ago. Thaddeus Daniel Pierce was born on July 26 having been developed from an embryo that was created in 1994. Lindsey and Tim Pierce, who live in Ohio, "adopted" the embryo from the biological mother, who had kept it frozen since 1994, according to the MIT Technology Review. The embryo that was created while the adoptive father was still a toddler was transferred into Lindsey's uterus in November 2024. Thaddeus who was born at the weekend, also has a biological sister who is now 30, with her own 10-year-old daughter. Thaddeus Daniel Pierce News in 90 Seconds, Friday August 1 The adoptive mother Lindsey Pierce Lindsey explained that she and Tim had not set out to 'break any records' but just wanted to have a baby. She told MIT Technology Review: 'We had a rough birth but we are both doing well now. "He is so chill. We are in awe that we have this precious baby.' 'The baby has a 30-year-old sister. It's like something out of a sci-fi movie.' Thaddeus came about after the biological mother and the adopting parents were linked up by a Christian "embryo adoption" agency. Nightlight Christian Adoptions took on the embryos and placed them with Lindsey and Tim Pierce. The embryo was donated by Linda Archerd (62) who told MIT Technology Review that 'it's been pretty surreal' that a baby from a decades-old embryo that she created is now a baby. Lindsey and Tim Pierce, who live in Ohio, "adopted" the embryo from the biological mother Ms Archcerd had been trying to get pregnant for six years with her husband, when they decided to try and undergo the relatively new IVF treatment at the time. In May 1994, they created four embryos and transferred one to her uterus — which became a healthy baby girl, the 30-year-old who has a daughter of her own. While Linda had hoped to have another baby, she and her husband ended up divorcing. Linda won custody of the remaining embryos and paid to keep them in storage. 'I always thought it was the right thing to do,' she said. Linda decided that while she didn't want to discard the embryos, or donate them to research, she also didn't want to donate them to a family anonymously, either. She then learned about embryo adoption Nightlight Christian Adoptions, which allowed Linda to choose the family she donated them to. Meanwhile, Lindsey and Tim had been trying to have a baby for several years and had seen many doctors in their fertility journey. The couple ended up signing up for the same fertility programme as Linda, called Snowflakes where they were matched with Linda. Lindsey later underwent the procedure at the Rejoice Fertility IVF clinic in Tennessee. The record was previously held by Rachel and Philip Ridgeway, who had twins from 30-year-old embryos back in 2022, with Rejoice Fertility IVF Clinic's John Gordon. Gordon who also treated the Pierces, said the Ridgeways are 'such a lovely couple' whose twins are 'growing like weeds'.

Budget airline ‘disappointed' by White House using viral advert for deportation video
Jess Glynne, whose song is also used in the sound, said the post 'honestly makes me feel sick'. The budget airline Jet2 has said they are 'very disappointed' by the White House using their viral advert as a backing track for a deportation video. The ad that features the line 'nothing beats a Jet2 holiday' while Jess Glynne's Hold My Hand plays in the background has been a global hit that has been used in nearly two million videos on TikTok over the summer. Seizing on its popularity, the US administration posted a video on Tuesday showing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents forcing detainees in shackles onto a plane to be deported. The video is captioned: "When ICE books you a one-way Jet2 holiday to deportation. Nothing beats it!" The controversial video News in 90 Seconds, Friday August 1 It also uses the voiceover from the original advert, which says: "Nothing beats a Jet2holiday, and right now you can save £50 per person.' The video has been condemned by both Jess Glynne who said it made her feel 'sick' while a Jet2 spokesperson said they don't endorse the sound being used in the video. 'Our branding has become something of a viral phenomenon this summer and we are pleased to see how many people have used it in good humour,' the spokesperson told PA. 'This has put a smile on many people's faces, just like our holidays do. We are of course aware of a post from the White House social media account. 'This is not endorsed by us in any way, and we are very disappointed to see our brand being used to promote government policy such as this.' Jess Glynne, whose song is also used in the video took to her Instagram to say: 'This post honestly makes me feel sick. My music is about love, unity, and spreading positivity – never about division or hate.' Zoe Lister, the advert's voiceover actress, told the BBC she would "never condone my voiceover being used" to promote what she called "Trump and his abhorrent policies". "The Jet2 meme has spread a lot of joy and humour around the world but the White House video shows that Trump has neither," she added. Jess Glynne It is not the first time the White House has used memes on its social media pages with one recent image depicting US President Donald Trump's face superimposed onto Superman alongside the caption: "The symbol of hope. Truth. Justice. The American Way. Superman Trump." In recent weeks the administration has posted on X: "Nowhere in the constitution does it say we can't post banger memes". The pop group Abba previously complained after their hits including The Winner Takes it All were played at one of Trump's presidential campaign rallies. They requested the videos be removed and taken down. The estate of Sinéad O'Connor has also asked Trump to stop using her music at his political rallies. Her estate told the BBC O'Connor would have been "disgusted, hurt and insulted" by his use of her music. Adele also objected to Rolling In The Deep being used as his "warm-up" music while lawyers for Aerosmith star Steven Tyler sent Trump's campaign a cease-and-desist letter in 2015 after the band's hit single Dream On was played at numerous rallies around the US. President Trump has recently committed $170bn for border and immigration enforcement, including $45m for detention, according to the BBC. ICE, a federal law enforcement agency, will see its funding grow by $76.5bn over five years. The Jet2 advert went viral at the start of the summer has been used in more than two million videos on TikTok. The sound has also been put over disastrous moments such as plane fights, holiday mishaps, and failed travel plans with one of the most popular featuring a woman on a rollercoaster who gets hit in the chest by a seagull.
