Eggs don't belong in the freezer.
I recently was interviewed by the Israeli leftist newspaper, Haaretz about the trend of egg freezing in Israel and why I would never freeze my eggs. This is MAJOR for an outlet that has almost exclusively published pro-fertility industry articles.
Unfortunately, the full article (in English & Hebrew) can only be viewed by Haaretz paid subscribers. I've included my contributions below.
For the record...
My feelings about egg freezing are grounded in cold, hard facts.
The cancer risks specifically.
How did I learn about the dirty little secrets behind the fertility industry, cancers stats, and the slew of medical and legal ethics to consider? Through the work and research of the brilliant #BigFertility whistleblower, Jennifer Lahl.
Most people hear about a couple or a friend who have had a baby through assisted reproductive technology, and who may have also used a third-party conception method, such as egg/sperm donation and/or surrogacy.
But many have never heard about the risks, the complications, and the legal problems that may arise.
In The Medical & Legal Ethics of IVF, Surrogacy, & Other Commonly Used Assisted Reproductive Technology industry expert Jennifer Lahl, helps you navigate the conversations around the hot topic of new modern family formation and what is at stake for women and children.
Young girls and women of childbearing age, need to know they are going to get bombarded with ads to sell their eggs and become surrogate mothers.
