THE WORLD IN 30 MINUTES
Motherhood on Ice
30' (GER)
Over 40 and expecting your first child? What used to be the exception is slowly becoming the rule.
Nevertheless, geriatric pregnancies almost always bring with them very high risk of deformities because the ovules of older women are less fertile than those of younger women. With “Social Egg Freezing”, the medical field has a found a way to reduce the dangers that normally accompany geriatric pregnancies.
Young women are encouraged to have their ovules removed and frozen until later in life when they determine themselves ready to have children. Does this method offer women a long-desired freedom? Does it not only harbour risk of misuse in the name of science and economy? And should it be possible to plan human life from A – Z?
