        Did you go to little Bobby Two Pints’s birthday party? The little shit falls asleep after two pints of whiskey. Wimp.

      Age for legal purposes generally begins counting at birth, even for people whose cells have been active, and whose organs and such have been growing and maturing for longer than that.

      If you could put a baby into suspended animation of some form, and return it to usual biological function 25 years later, there might be a real legal issue. As it stands, I don’t see it.
