This edited volume covers the development of egg freezing over the
last few decades since the pioneering work of Chen in 1986,
addressing both the scientific breakthroughs that have occurred and
the social and demographic changes that are currently driving an
increased demand for 'social' egg freezing and a recognition of the
important role of 'medical' egg freezing for women facing
potentially sterilizing oncology therapy. It presents the latest
research in egg vitrification, methodologies for optimizing
laboratory performance and contemporary clinical management of
patients seeking oocyte cryopreservation. Audited international
data on access, take-up, use and birth outcomes for women
undertaking egg freezing are included. The book also discusses the
ethical issues related to access and funding and considers how
different legal jurisdictions have approached matters such as
storage duration, ownership, donation, anonymity and
identification. Such wide-ranging contents will bridge the gap
between the highly technical laboratory handbooks and the 'popular'
tabloid accounts directed at young women considering egg freezing.
Drawing on the different approaches to fertility preservation
prevailing around the world, with chapters written by leading
international experts and edited by Gillian Lockwood, a pioneer of
the field whose clinic produced the UK's first 'frozen egg' baby in
2002, Egg Freezing in the 21st Century will have an authoritative
and global appeal, and may hopefully encourage a change of attitude
in some jurisdictions.
