Summary
Joining us today is Marcia C. Inhorn, PhD, MPH, the William K. Lanman, Jr. Professor of Anthropology and International Affairs in the Department of Anthropology and The Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies at Yale University.
Dr. Inhorn is an expert in Middle Eastern gender and health issues. For the past 35 years, she has studied the social impact of infertility and assisted reproductive technologies across various countries and cultures.
Dr. Lanman sits down with us to discuss motherhood on ice, the mating gap, and why women freeze their eggs. Eager to share her knowledge on reproductive health, she is interested in solving issues related to fertility – and egg freezing is among the most popular solutions…
In this episode, we dive into:
- What motivates women to freeze their eggs, and the ages they typically do it.
- What the egg freezing process looks like.
- What "age-related fertility decline" is, and when it usually occurs.
