The woman gave birth to a son at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangdong Province in early February. Her other first son, already 16 years old, was from the same batch of embryos frozen in 2000. She gave birth to her first child through In vitro fertilisation (IVF) in 2000, when the hospital froze her 18 other embryos.
