Embryo created from frozen ovary

New hope for women with cancer

Published on March 10, 2004 By JillUser In Pure Technology

I was so excited when I heard this story on the news this morning. Scientists were able to freeze a woman's ovary while she underwent treatment for cancer. She went into menopause which would normally mean she no longer had hopes for concieving. They then implanted the ovary under her tissue, it reversed her menopause, ovum were produced, they then created an embryo. Unfortunately the implantation was unsuccessful but it sure gives new hope.

Men currently have great success in having sperm frozen for later use when faced with cancer. Doctors have found that often women have a harder time dealing with the idea that they will never be able to have children than with the prospect of death. This new hope may very well help young women deal better mentally with the diagnosis of cancer and hopefully soon the procedure will be perfected and theses women will become mothers.

Women have been well-taught, I see.

UAOM (Universal Association of Men), our brainwashing is complete. They care more about bearing our children than life. This calls for a party:)

Dan, I think that may have a bit more to due with a womans basic instinct to have children than the brainwashing of men.

Ah Dan, trying to incite the wrath of the feminazis. Here, I'll play along: You sexist pig! Women can have babies on their own without the influence of pigs like you. Look at all of the single or lesbian mothers that got their families through sperm banks.

****Just playing along. I am neither a feminazi nor brainwashed.*********
