A MOTHER has made medical history by giving birth to healthy twin boys from
embryos that were frozen 12 years ago.

>>>
Although the technology may now enable the long-term storage of embryos, the
practice is not allowed in Britain. Couples can initially store embryos for
five years but then have to apply for a five-year extension. After that the
embryos must be left to perish**, given up for research or passed to another
couple for immediate use.
