World

  • Cristina Rapti-Tzelepi, 54, has given birth to a baby girl using an embryo frozen for more than 22 years.
  • The embryo was frozen in 2004 after Rapti-Tzelepi and her husband, Constantinos Raptis, underwent IVF.
  • They had kept the remaining embryos after having their son, Giorgos, who died in a road accident aged 21.
  • Months after his death, the couple chose to use the embryo, with Greece’s IVF age limit leaving little time.
