[My Dream Review]

Thanks for such an amazing show, After experiencing your work, I think it’s really difficult to be a woman. It also reminds me of my wife. She is a very great woman. If possible, I would like to suffer the pain of childbirth instead of my wife. .All women in the world deserve to be respected and their reproductive rights need to be defended.

This book explains the whole background of women’s freezing of eggs, which is of great significance to the times. At the same time, I learned about various opinions and voices of egg freezing in this book. The phenomenon of social egg freezing has only recently emerged as a new social practice related to the timing of parenthood, and as such there remain many unanswered questions about women’s perceptions and use of this novel technology. This book is derived from an exploratory sociological research study which examined how 31 women, who were in many ways pioneering users of this technology, constructed, understood and experienced the phenomenon of social egg freezing in the context of debates surrounding reproductive choice and delayed motherhood. This research also explored how women made the decision to engage with social egg freezing, how they perceived the risks and benefits of the procedure, and how they experienced the’medical’ encounter in the clinic. As part of this investigation and analysis this research project also examined some of 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, the further entrenchment of the geneticisation of society, and the way in which reproductive and parenting ideals, values ​​and expectations can come into conflict with the biological and relational realities of women’s lives.

In drawing on this research and wider scholarship and investigation, this book joins a rich field of sociological research that applies qualitative methods to explore contemporary developments in assisted reproduction (Dimond & Stephens, 2018; Nash, 2014; Nordqvist & Smart, 2014; Wahlberg & Gammeltoft, 2018). This book aims to offer a nuanced, detailed and critical examination and analysis of social egg freezing by investigating the way in which users of this technology determine and negotiate their mothering desires which are mediated and constrained not only by wider socio- political and market contexts but also by their intimate encounters with (non)reproductive partners. It also aims to demonstrate the sometimes significant pressures and burdens new biomedical developments in reproductive technology can place upon women to draw upon and navigate these technologies in the pursuit of greater reproductive choice and control and in the process of family building. This text seeks to be t he first of its kind to bring together rigorous academic research, detailed accounts from egg freezing users, and wider social science scholarship and theorising to explore the phenomenon of social egg freezing in qualitative depth. This book is therefore written not only for an academic audience but also for informed publics, users and potential users of social egg freezing, as well as those involved in the provision, delivery, management or regulation of assisted reproductive technologies.

Whilst remaining conscious of the way in which social egg freezing plays into and shapes broader debates and practices in a wider Western context, this research provides a uniquely British-American perspective on this technology.

[An Actual Idea]

I want to make a voting device. Everyone can vote on women’s reproductive rights, whether they agree to freezing eggs, whether they agree to surrogacy, the different opinions and positions of the audience will affect the appearance of a 3d woman’s egg, if they agree If there are more people, the number of eggs will increase, and the shape will become plump. If there are too many disagreements, the number of eggs will decrease and shrink. Of course, this is just a very preliminary thing I want to post.
