Let She Who has the Womb Speak: Regulating the use of Human Oocyte Cryopreservation to the Detriment of Older Women

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article is divided into three parts. Part I examines the arguments in favor of banning human oocyte cryopreservation. Part II explores the reasons some opponents of human oocyte cryopreservation might give to support restrictions on the use of frozen oocytes. Part III analyzes the possible ethical and legal challenges that may arise in the event that the government seeks to ban the use of frozen oocytes or restrict the use of frozen oocytes based solely on the age of the potential mother.
