The number of women freezing their eggs in the UK has gone up nearly 30 times in just over a decade, AOC is documenting her egg freezing process on Instagram, and more and more companies are covering the costs for their employees. Is egg freezing reproductive freedom, or just delaying the baby choice? Is it a solution, or a band-aid approach for a system that still doesn’t accommodate the working mother? And when reproduction becomes a private industry, does having a baby and a career become a class luxury reserved for the wealthy? In this episode I’ll take you through the ethical complications of this private industry, the shady add-ons and misinformation to look out for, how the egg freezing process actually works, and what questions you need to ask a clinic (and yourself) before you hand over your money.
