Freezing Egg....Not Career But Lack of a Stable Partner


Olivia Petter, Independent, UK, July 2 2018:
“Women are freezing their eggs due to a “lack of stable partners”, new research suggests.
Despite claims that egg-freezing derives from a desire to delay childbirth and prioritise careers, the study found that not being in a secure relationship is the primary motivation for women freezing their eggs today...
... The findings go against the idea that social egg freezing primarily appeals to women wanting to prioritise their careers”

 
“I’m thinking about freezing my eggs.”
