I think that some of you may be missing the point. There are many more reasons that women choose to freeze their eggs other than career advancement. Some women may not have found that person they would like to raise their child with, others may not be able to afford a child, and others are not emotionally ready. For all of these reasons and more, freezing ones eggs is an interesting subject to explore. In my cyberspace travels, I have found a company called Extend Fertility (www.extendfertility.com). Their website has an informative and empowering outlook of women and their choices when it comes to their reproductive health. Check it out.

Tez from Derby has no idea - it's not about inconvienience as she likes to put it. I am 31 nearly 32 with no partner and I would love to have children. Am I therefore wrong to want to freeze my eggs in the hope I met a partner, or should I sleep with random men in the hope i fall pregnant and have a child without a father figure and probably have to take money from the government? Surely it would be better for all parties concerned to be a loving stable relationship. I have a good job but i am not a career woman who is afraid to stop work and have child, and it annoys me that people imply this is the case. Perhaps Tez thinks single teenage mums are a good thing as they haven't thought about the inconvience of it all...

sally, london,

they're eggs not children you stupid people! You know, the things we flush down the toilet every month? I think that everyones situation is different and that it is completely narrow minded of anyone to judge someone for doing this without knowing the individuals needs and wants. I am a career woman in my early twenties who wants more than anything to be a mummy, but there is absolutely no point in becoming one until i am mature enough and ready enough to be a wonderful parent to my child, as well as being financially stable enough to do so. My ovaries disease may make leaving motherhood a little bit later than normal very difficult, so i am faced with trying for a baby to test fertility, maybe bringing a child into the world before being ready, or leaving every day in fear that my eggs might not be healthy enough when i am ready. Children are born everyday, unwanted, unplanned, abandoned, abused and brought up badly, surely we should be praising the deep thought going into this?

'Having-a-Baby', should NOT be treated as 'just' another commodity we wish to obtain in our life's.
Nature has its time 'slot' for 'Baby-making', apart from, illness or fertility problems, the freezing off eggs, to be used in this way is just wrong and makes the value of a 'Baby's-life' like something you BUY out of Tesco!
For my wife and I, this is one we both feel the same way, she works and has a good career ahead of her, but her Body clock, is telling her 'NOW' is not before time, for her to have had her Baby.
At 27 and trying for nearly 10years, this tells you the time zone, is best for 'Baby-making', its all 'just-natural' and for my wife is MORE important to achieve than any 'MONEY-MAKING-CAREER', but then she doesn't think 'a-Baby' is like a Plasma TV!.....OH..... 'GOT-THAT-ON-MY-SHOPPING-LIST'
'YES' Ive told her, lets have our Baby out off LOVE NOW, 'YOUR LOVE ON WANTING TO BE A MUMMY' and mine as wanting to be a Daddy!, its MORE important than ANY money!

Good grief - where are we going?
So having a Family is 'inconvenient'. I think that say's it all about Womens atitudes, in General...
I have to wonder about our Social problems and such atitudes.

Will this act to eliminate the glass ceiling on women's career progression? Will this empower women to become more financially independent, and allow them to focus on a fulfilling career, whereby they are enabled to progress as far as possible? If so, could such technology be used to allow the retired (post-career) women of the future to embrace mother-hood, confident in the knowledge that as finanically independent women, they will not be reliant on a remote (male) bread-winner for support?

Talking money, if she does have that 'LONG-WANTED-FOR-BABY' I told my wife she can continue her career, have our Baby, because I WILL be the 'HOUSE-DADDY', NO-PROBLEM!!!!
Cant wait for the 'PRIVILEGE' of changing 'shi**y' nappies! and bottle feeding! (cant use my breasts) ;-)
