Egg freezing is a blessing under these circumstances
There are some women for whom egg freezing gives them the possibility of motherhood one day when unfortunate events have put that at risk. For example, women who must go through radiation or chemotherapy at a young age due to cancer may choose to freeze their eggs in advance, as these processes can destroy fertility. Some women must undergo surgeries that will damage their ovaries, and may choose to freeze eggs in advance and use a surrogate later. Women who must undergo a hysterectomy at a young age may first freeze their eggs and use a surrogate at a later date.
