Wasnt Snow White in a magical sleep for like a hundred or so years?

    I mean, yes, but she's only physically and mentally 14.

    If you put a child in cryostasis until she's technically 18 you would still be a pedo if you did anything to her.

    Oof, yeah, that's definitely something that will need to be looked at when cryotech starts being a thing.

    Now I wonder, there are most certainly no such protections in place if an underage person goes into coma for long enough that their physical body is aged 18+. Wouldn't your mind have experienced only very little development through that time, though?

    The same laws that protect drunk, unconscious, disabled, senile, or otherwise incapacitated people would still apply. Here, the 18-year-old with a child's mind would be deemed incompetent, and assigned a guardian.

    There's got to be something more concrete than that, should the guardian be the problem...

    Laws are for generalities. Courts are for specificities. The situation you describe is resolved in the courts, not by legislation.

    If the guardian is the problem, the courts assign a new guardian. That guardian can be another relative, or it could be a department of the state.

    That embryo frozen for 24 years or whatever that was successfully implanted and carried to term didn't emerge from the womb 6'1" with an MBA.

    Would you have looked at an embryo frozen for 18 years and said "uh-hhuhuh, she's totally legal"?

    Same logic applies.

    I don't think having sex with frozen embryo goop should be a crime though.

    If that embyo goop isn't your property, it should be.

    And if you've broken into the fertility clinic, that's definitely a crime.
