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 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.
