If not for Apc that held Nigeria back, what is so advanced about embryo science? By now we would have been on the moon if Peter Obi won.

I hope later in life, you will heavily fund and sponsor advanced Science programs that will help the next generation to close the gap in knowledge between us and the Americans

Or una own na to just sit down dey compare and criticise your own thing, when even you no wan help?

If yes, thats the easiest thing to do. To just sit and criticize. Every l-azy people can do that effortlessly
How do you help a society that has refused to help herself? A society where the political class has taken control of every sector and plays politics with everything? A society where employment in critical sectors like health and education are based on political connectionshuh Una never ready for this country!

Maybe one day, scientists will also be able to freeze a human being & revive him after 100years to continue his life.
I don't doubt anything when it comes to science and technology anymore.

Bank PHB did an advert many years ago where they said they believe one day cars would drive themselves. We all found the advertisement funny, but today cars can drive themselves.

This is science and far beyond what we are being taught in the Nigerian schools.

The reason the Baze university owner sent his child to study abroad while expecting Nigerians to pay huge amount of money to study in his own school here in Nigeria.
school wouldn't teach you this, but an enviroment that welcomes creative ideas and gives it a chance to be made possible.

huge amount of money Una. convert tertiary tuition fee in Europe or America to Naira, your mind go cut. What we pay or invest in education in Nigeria is a joke compared to these countries.

government can only afford elementary and maybe secondary education to a very sound and competitive level. They should invest in that make it available for all and leave tertiary institution for those that can afford it both mentally and financially.

But who would advice them and they would listen huh huh?

Needless sensationalism...!

That doesn't make the baby old or oldest.

Baby's age starts the moment they are born not conceived or in the embryonic stage of development.
Exactly my thoughts

This (bolded) is the conclusion of the whole matter!
To support and strengthen your argument @Angelfrost, it is very possible at the point of birth (way back 1994) the baby may die or survive during the cause of labour hence the claim of oldest baby as it is being purported is a needless sensationalisation.

You are indeed highly cerebral!!!

This is not about prayer or waiting on God for some miracle - If science can solve your problem, please go for it. It was God that gave man the intelligence to deepen the scientific knowledge.

This is one of the reasons why I do not agree with my Church, the catholic church, on their stand regarding IVF.

You will see couples, looking for the fruit of the womb for years, with penitential observation and prayers, yet, no show.

But they will do IVF and the thing will click. Is it not God that created the children born through IVF?

A friend of mine waited for 13 years and no child. He eventually agreed to an IVF with the wife and they birthed triplets. All na God grace, biko. undecided
I'm Catholic as well and IVF is tricky.

It is a miracle, because a lot of couples try IVF and it's still unsuccessful. So it is only by God's grace truly. You can ask Doctors and TTC couples about how the journey isn't smooth.

This instance is a blessing IMO because the embryo wasn't destroyed, a life was spared and a couple have a child.

However there is the angle that sometimes it is in God's plan for some of us to experience Life's deepest pains, for our good and His glory. What if that delay was predestined?

And some people are going to abuse IVF and surrogacy (a certain Chinese celebrity couple come to mind).

So I get both angles. It can feel like humanity is trying to play god and the Church can't approve of that.

But make no mistake, Science is from Our Creator.

Fascinating. It is the embryo which eventually develops into the foetus 8 weeks after conception.

But that development can be suspended, and the embryo can be cryogenically preserved indefinitely until such future date as the parents are ready to have the child.

But the process of cryogenic preservation is very expensive which is why only the wealthy are doing it.
that brings me to what Dr Abel Damina was trying to point out... that children don't really come from God. Though God installed the reproductive system in humans but there are processes that must be carried out by humans to have children.... I'm just confused abeg

We have better scientific breakthroughs in nigeria . Our politicians were born then they enter cryostasis and start living again after 10 years . Our president is an example of this scientific wonder. grin

it was not sperm which is the main element of life not the embryo!
Embryo is just like a house keeping a living organism inside!

This is so great!

I hope they make the process affordable so many people can freeze theirs until they are ready!

Ready as how?
Why not simply engage in copulation or do IVF when you're ready. I still don't understand the essence of this

This is what you get when those scientist are bored and try to explore
