Meet Thaddeus Daniel Pierce, the “World’s Oldest Baby.”
Baby Thaddeus was conceived via IVF in 1994 along with three siblings. His biological parents implanted his sister and froze the rest of their children.
After divorcing, Thaddeus’ biological mother gained custody of the remaining embryos. She intended to implant them, but menopause led her to choose embryo adoption.
In 2024, Lindsey and Tim Pierce adopted Thaddeus and his two remaining siblings after 7 years of infertility. One embryo died after being defrosted, and two were implanted in Lindsey’s uterus.
Only Thaddeus survived.
Thaddeus was born on July 26th, 2025. But he’s biologically 31 years old.
Media outlets are confused: They say Thaddeus was created or born “from an embryo that was frozen.” But Thaddeus’ life didn’t begin in 2024 or 2025. He was alive in 1994 and was alive during the 30 years being frozen.
Thaddeus was the embryo. He’s the same human being, just older now.
Thaddeus is a miracle. But also a victim of an unethical practice.
No child should be subjected to IVF, as it puts children at serious risk.
➡️ 40% increased risk of birth defects
➡️ Double the chance of stillbirth
➡️ Higher risk of childhood leukemia
➡️ Low birth weight
➡️ Higher blood pressure
➡️ Hormonal imbalances
➡️ Advanced bone age
➡️ Cardiovascular issues
➡️ Cerebral palsy
➡️ Autism spectrum disorder
➡️ Infertility
More lives are lost during IVF than born alive.
Only 7% of human embryos created via IVF result in a live birth.
93% of these lives are frozen, miscarried, or aborted.
Over 1 million embryos are currently frozen in the U.S.
Thaddeus was treated as an “extra” baby, frozen for 30 years, and two of his siblings were killed.
Children deserve better.
Ban IVF now.
