    Not such a bad idea

    I have a little trouble seeing the problem in this situation, other than (as the author points out) affordability concerns. All this does is urge younger women to expand their options. The doctor may pose it as either-or, but it's not; a 42-year-old still has a choice about which eggs to use, and if she has trouble with her own, the frozen ones give her a good backup. As someone about to turn 40 who just went through breast cancer treatment and may not be able to get pregnant now, I kind of wish I had that opportunity myself.
