Abstract

Eggs can be 'forever'. A longstanding goal in assisted reproductive technology (ART) has been realized at last, namely, cryopreservation of oocytes by vitrification technology. This breakthrough heralds benefits for infertility treatment, fertility preservation, and even postponement of reproduction but, as so often with ARTs, new waves of technology draw ethical and societal concerns in their wake.
