Greek couple welcomes daughter from embryo frozen for 22 years after son's death
A Greek couple has welcomed a daughter born from an embryo frozen for 22 years, a rare achievement that highlights the limits of national IVF regulations. Cristina Rapti-Tzelepi, 54, and her husband Constantinos Raptis, 60, conceived the child shortly after losing their 21-year-old son in a road crash. The birth occurred in Athens just before the mother reached the legal age limit for assisted reproduction in Greece. The couple named the newborn Georgia in honor of their late son, Giorgos, who was also born via IVF. This case has sparked debate among medical professionals about the strictness of current age restrictions in the country.
