Egg freezing is the future of women’s reproductive freedom and rights. Around the world, companies like Facebook and Apple pay for their employees to freeze their eggs, but in Asia, some governments have made social egg freezing illegal in fear of promoting late motherhood, while others have chosen to leave it unregulated.
Enter Juhee An, founder of Freedom Edge, a social business helping Asian women travel to South Korea to freeze their eggs (pre-COVID of course). In this episode, we discuss the science behind the technology, why some governments are not behind it and some considerations to think about if you’re looking to immortalise your eggs.
