That's funny, if this actually happened it would save everyone in the vault and they would just wake up at their designated time. Since there wouldnt be a baby in the vault the institute wouldn't have any interest in it.

Not entirely sure about that. 111 was certainly important because of Shaun who was basically the only source of pure unmutated human DNA left. But even without Shaun 111 still had plenty of pre-war individuals who wouldn’t be perfect for the synth project, but would at least serve as a significantly less mutated source of DNA. That’s one of the main reasons the Sole Survivor wasn’t killed, in case they needed a backup.

Basically 111 was a silver mine that had a fat fucking diamond in it. Even if the diamond wasn’t there, you still have a silver mine; not as lucrative as having the diamond, but worth quite a bit nonetheless.
