As more women choose to pursue professional, educational, or personal goals before starting a family later in life, many consider freezing their eggs as a way of prolonging their fertility. Here are some pros and cons of freezing your eggs:
PROS
- Fewer eggs to weigh body down
- Delayed childbirth increases the likelihood you’ll already be dead before kids become emotionally volatile teenagers
- Another great opportunity for a medical professional to reach up inside there
- Future offspring will be better adapted to living in colder climates
- Allows you and your employer to wait until the time is right to have a child
- Get to defy God
CONS
- Family bloodline could be wiped out by a downed power line
- Have to start financially supporting child long before they are even born
- Have to purchase dozen or so tiny parkas and hats to keep them warm
- Eggs will never get to experience fun of lazily jaunting down fallopian tube
- Separation anxiety from own genetic material can get pretty intense
- Prefer having them forever go to waste inside own body
