Doctors did it in Australia in 1986, in Germany in 1987: managed the successful conception of human embryos from frozen ova. Now an Atlanta clinic has brought the technique to the United States, and the first beneficiary is a 39-year-old Georgia woman who bore twin boys in August conceived from donated frozen eggs and her husband's sperm. Some point to the increasing ability to store and manipulate reproductive material as allowing more choice in birth-timing decisions.
