Egg Daycare - Alt. Family Planning - with Jenina

Thanks to technology, we are able to slightly alter our timelines on when we would like to start a family. Given the circumstances, whether it be a career, haven't found someone to start a family with, etc., we now have the option of freezing our eggs to be able to increase our chances of becoming pregnant in the future. As we age, we lose more and more eggs. If we freeze our eggs, we are able to then do IVF, when ready, and possibly be successful and become pregnant.  However, this episode comes at a time where IVF is coming into question in some states where some people believe embryos are babies and therefore are voting against the right to perform invitro and increase the ability for those who are unable to start a family naturally. 1 in 5 people deal with infertility. If this ideology gets adopted by more people, this could be detrimental to many people who desire to have children. 

NOTE: We do get into political talk during this conversation, as this is directly related to freezing eggs. Although not all of us will agree, my hope is that we are still able to have the civil conversations surrounding this issue.
