Embryo donation record
I’ve been watching The Mandalorian lately. It’s not my favourite Western and I am not a Star Wars fanboy, but I admit that it is entertaining.
The best character is Baby Yoda, an infant of an alien species with big ears, which, I am told, has no name. The interesting factoid, for the purposes of BioEdge, is that Baby Yoda, who appears to be about six months old and acts that way, is actually 50.
All this happens, of course, in a galaxy far, far away. Here on Planet Earth the closest being to Baby Yoda is a smiling infant named Molly Gibson, who came into existence 27 years ago and is only two months old. Read about her below.

Molly Gibson is 27 years old, or two months — take your pick.
