Abstract
The consensus view among relevant professional societies opposing the offering of elective oocyte cryopreservation for potential future self-donation withstands neither clinical nor ethical scrutiny. The favorable risk-benefit ratio of this technology mandates both the prioritization of patient autonomy for informed women seeking to maximize—not guarantee—their chances of having genetically related children, and a justification for viewing egg freezing differently from intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
