Women Increasingly Freezing Their Eggs To Pursue Their Careers

Lasrick (2629253) writes "Really interesting piece by Emma Rosenblum about women freezing their eggs in order to take 'biological clock' pressure off while they pursue careers: 'Not since the birth control pill has a medical technology had such potential to change family and career planning. The average age of women who freeze their eggs is about 37, down from 39 only two years ago... And fertility doctors report that more women in their early 30s are coming in for the procedure. Not only do younger women have healthier eggs, they also have more time before they have to use them.'"

Congratulations, here's your prize for speaking out against... well, I'm not really sure, but here it is anyway!
Why in the world would you care in the slightest what any woman does with her own body and/or offspring? Things that are 100% out of your control -- and damn well should be -- are things which aren't worrying about. Go find something productive to do, like worrying about yourself.
