Egg freezing in an age of uncertainty

HeyReprotech is still paused, but I wanted to pop in to mention that last week, my documentary on egg freezing — Egg Freezing in an Age of Uncertainty — aired on CBC radio’s IDEAS.

The documentary features four guests:

Toronto lawyer Salima Fakirani, who decided to freeze her eggs at age 31

Lucy van de Wiel, a senior lecturer in global health and social medicine at King’s College London

(Read her excellent book, Freezing Fertility: Oocyte Cryopreservation and the Gender Politics of Aging )

Marcia Inhorn, an anthropologist at Yale University

(Read her excellent book, Motherhood on Ice: The Mating Gap and Why Women Freeze Their Eggs)

Katie Hammond, a law professor at the Lincoln Alexander School of Law at Toronto Metropolitan University

(Read her excellent paper, Evaluating Elective Egg Freezing Consent Materials From Canadian Fertility Clinics)
