If ‘life’ begins at conception, why can a zygote or an embryo be frozen indefinitely? In 2020, an embryo that had been frozen for 27 years resulted in a healthy baby girl, again pushing the limits on what science thought possible for cryopreservation. Currently, there are more than a million embryos frozen in the United States alone, some of them decades old. What if they last 100 years?By allowing for such excesses (creating thousands of times as many embryos as are actually "needed" and freezing them in "doomsday" vaults for indefinite periods of time), our society has aided and abetted such morally ambiguous and even tortuous circumstances to arise.
