A former leukemia patient who donated his sperm for freezing as a teenager 22 years ago has become a father.

Chris Biblis was 16 years old when doctors said he needed to undergo radiotherapy, which would make him infertile. At the same time, he was advised to pre-submit sperm samples to a low-temperature storage for further use.

Chris from Charlotte, North Carolina, who is now 38 years old, celebrates the birth of a healthy daughter, Stella (pictured), conceived by injecting unfrozen sperm into the eggs of his wife, Melody, and implanting into the uterus.

"According to the doctors of the American clinic who performed the procedure, 22 years of difference between the moment of sample delivery in April 1986 and fertilization in June 2008 is a world record," writes the author of the article Jackie Goddard.
