Wonder how the life begins at conception crowd would react to this one. Are the kids 30, or a few days?

As someone who believes life begins at conception, I'd believe these kids are 30, but they've had their physical and mental growth stunted. Something doesn't sit well with me - keeping live human beings trapped in solitary confinement for 30+ years in a test tube, waiting to be traded to the right people who will free them from the prison they don't know they are trapped in sounds like a modern version of "12 Years A Slave".

While I would love to see these kids grow up healthy, happy, loved, with long lives, and that infertility can become a thing of the past through these technological advances, I suspect these kids will have the same problems Dolly the sheep had, and end up degenerating by 40ish due to being frozen for 30 years. Time will tell.
