Edna Parker, the "world's oldest human" died Wednesday Nov. 26 aged 
115 years 220 days. Mrs. Parker was born Apr. 20, 1893.
Maria de Jesus of Portugal, who was born September 10, 1893, is now 
the world's oldest living person, according to the Gerontology Research Group.

On the other hand, James Bedford was also born Apr. 20, 1893, and I 
think has the earliest birth date of anyone currently cryopreserved. 
In any case we have now reached the point that one or more 
cryopreserved people have birth dates earlier than anyone now 
animate, thus if they are revivable they would really be the oldest 
living humans.
