Well there we have it, the consensus in business will be that if a woman hasn't committed to freezing eggs and agreeing to postpone motherhood for X amount of years she will be considered to be not fully committed to her career...
Meanwhile will there be a similar sperm freezing facility? |

I love my job, I really do. It's a dream job... but if my circumstanced has been different I would probably have started, or at least be starting a family now. I wouldn't have expected to do a job like this because it would be an impossible balance. Women just can't have it all. It is not always possible. |

Wonder how they will enforce this actually thinking about it properly...as unless the women in question also agree to go celibate until the end of their career they could still get pregnant anyway :S

:laugh: I made this point on the last page it's not exactly the right time to get pregnant and have all that time off due to your ageing body not being able to cope with a first time pregnancy when you have just landed the Job as Head of Department |

Interesting article on this topic...
'Egg-freezing is no guarantee of having a child, though. Studies indicate that women who have three rounds of egg retrieval at around $10,000 per round have a slightly more than 30 percent chance of giving birth if they are 25 or younger when the eggs are frozen. The closer women get to age 40, the lower the likelihood of success. If women limit themselves to the two rounds of egg retrieval covered by the new benefits, that also will reduce the odds.' Seems that there is a chance that this procedure could fail based on the amount/quality of eggs retrieved, it's a massive gamble. http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechcons...n-egg-freezing |
