The danger of delaying childbearing, of course, is that a woman who eventually wants a baby may be unable to
have one because her eggs are no longer viable. But researchers have developed a procedure that, 14 not stopping
a woman’s biological clock, can in effect act as a snooze button. Egg freezing, or “oocyte cryopreservation,” uses
hormones to boost a woman’s production of eggs, which are then extracted and frozen, 15 them to be thawed,
fertilized, and implanted in her womb at a later date. Freezing puts the eggs in a state of 16 animation, meaning
that in theory, a woman can keep a viable store of eggs on ice long after her body’s natural supply is depleted.
While egg freezing is available primarily to cancer patients facing infertility from chemotherapy and radiation, a
growing number of clinics are offering the procedure to 17 healthy women who simply want to postpone
childbearing for personal reasons.
