I'm surprised comments are not turned off per ABC's usual practice.
In PokemonGo you only have to walk 2km to hatch an egg

So 15 Grand to freeze them 🥚. And 35 grand per round to have a 🍳 kid. She ain't marrying no Broke that's for sure. All that to become a single mother 😞
This is so sad... 24 yr old freezing eggs???? Ridiculous

Just another business profiting from making women anxious
If you think this is tough, wait till the egg hatches and you actually have to bring up a child.

Do we have any scientific information about any side effects of this technology?
All I needed to hear was "inject hormones" and that was enough for me. No thank you. I'll adopt, if I can't control the maternal instinct.

You speak my language! I'm 39yrs turning 40 in another 7-8 months. I haven't even met the right one & don't know when I will. Not willing to settle for less just for the ticking clock. Really contemplating the risks of getting my eggs frozen now vs going natural. By God's grace, I have healthy menstrual cycle & lifestyle. On one side, I do desperately want to have a legacy for my genes, on the other hand I don't want to risk my health by freezing eggs, which at this age may or may not have success either. Should I just trust in God & be positive if God blesses me with babies naturally? If not, I'll adopt. My PCP will be referring me to the fertility clinic tomorrow. Any advice?
It is good to bring up this topic and to have some marketing....and warnings
So ridiculous.
Oh, well
is this egg abuse??

Maybe
priviledged people problem
So we pay for maybe having a baby? So the chances are the same? If not better to just do it naturally?
Yeah majority are not going to use it anyway
First world problem
artificial and so synthetic
24 years old looking 40
24? God I hope she's joking. I'm 3 years older and could pass as her daughter. I think they meant 44

44 is to old, they advise to be young. Then quality is better when young.
Please turn off the comments, ABC. I've never seen so many nasty, unnecessarily negative opinions in one place.
