Sounds like a win to me. So this baby isn’t going to be riddled with the genetic mutations caused by the last 30 years of their parents living on our stressful planet?

Might however be riddled with issues tied to the natural decay of frozen DNA over 30 years. We don't have any data on such live experiments. They can - hopefully - be just fine, or suffer from yet unseen genetic diseases developing with age.

AFAIC I see no reason for a frozen piece of DNA to be healthier than one that has been naturally replicated with new material over and over, despite this occurring in a less than optimal environment.

Cosmic rays are a thing. DNA repair is stopped and the slow decay continues.
