Social Freezing

The life expectancy of humans has significantly increased, and the desire to have children is expressed later in life. However, the fertility window for women still closes by the age of forty at the latest, as the biological clock continues to tick in its old rhythm. A relatively new method for having children at a later stage in life is social freezing: unfertilized eggs are frozen – without medical necessity – so that women can still fulfill their desire to have children beyond their most fertile years. The book guides readers through all phases of the process and answers all relevant questions – medical, legal, and financial.
