LONDON, May 25 (Reuters) - A baby boy was born after being conceived with sperm frozen 21 years earlier in what scientists said on Tuesday was a new record.

The case will give hope to young men about to undergo treatment for cancer which may leave them infertile.

The boy's father had his sperm frozen when he was 17 before starting successful treatment for testicular cancer in the early 1980s.
