UK Moms freeze their eggs for infertile daughters
Sarah-Kate Templeton reports on the Times Online (2.10.2008):
. . . Some doctors say mothers should now be encouraged to freeze their eggs for their daughters’ use as soon as the offspring are diagnosed with conditions such as Turner syndrome, where sufferers lack ovaries . . . Josephine Quintavalle of Comment on Reproductive Ethics said: “The child could feel a crisis of identity trying to work out their relationship with relatives. The daughter’s husband may also feel an obligation to fertilise his mother-in-law’s eggs.” But fertility doctors say many women would prefer to have a child with a genetic link . . .
