This book explores the accounts and experiences of some of the pioneering users of this technology in the UK and the USA.Drawing on theories and concepts across medical sociology and parenting culture studies, as well as literature from demography, anthropology, law, and bioethics, this book examines women's motivations and experiences of social egg freezing in the context of debates surrounding reproductive choice and delayed motherhood. The book also delves into the broader sociological questions raised by this technology in relation to the gendered burden of appropriately timed parenthood, the medicalisation of women's bodies in the reproductive domain and the further entrenchment of the geneticisation of society. It also considers the sexual politics underpinning the timing of parenthood, relationship formation and progression, and the way in which reproductive and parenting ideals, values and expectations can come in to conflict with the biological and relational realities of women's lives. 410 0$aEmerald studies in reproduction, culture and society. 606 $aReproductive technology 606 $aOvum$xCryopreservation 606 $aInfertility, Female$xTreatment 606 $aFertility, Human 606 $aPregnancy in middle age 606 $aChildbirth in middle age 606 $aSocial Science$xWomen's Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aSociety & social sciences$2bicssc 615 0$aReproductive technology. 615 0$aOvum$xCryopreservation. 615 0$aInfertility, Female$xTreatment. 615 0$aFertility, Human. 615 0$aPregnancy in middle age. 615 0$aChildbirth in middle age. 615 7$aSocial Science$xWomen's Studies. 615 7$aSociety & social sciences. 676 $a305.4 700 $aBaldwin$b Kylie$0960025 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996313350103316 996 $aEgg Freezing, Fertility and Reproductive Choice$92175892 997 $aUNISA
