  Here's the secret to postponing motherhood successfully. Have part of your ovary removed and frozen in your teen years, so that you can have fresh (so to speak) eggs when you're old. It's so simple!
  But UK experts warned ovary freezing had not been sufficiently tested.
  No sh*it, Sherlock. (Pardon my French.) Think there might be some slight problem with this "solution" to what isn't a problem? Having trouble conceiving in your 40s in not abnormal, people. Get a grip!
  The child conceived from the young frozen egg will still need to be carried in an aging womb. That could be a problem.
  I know! Let's perform hysterectomies on young women who want to postpone child-bearing, and freeze their uteri along with their ovaries. That way, when she is ready to have her family, she can have a nice fresh uterus to in which to carry the child.
  Honestly, some days I think people's brains should be frozen.
  People are living longer than they used to.
  People are living longer, but again, this doesn't mean the body of a 40 year old women has been evolutionarily designed to carry a child (especially her first child). The original transplant in 2007 was from one twin sister to the other (the other having undergone radiation due to cancer which caused her to experience early menopause). This article seems to show that Dr Silber wants to capitalize on a treatment that was originally done for more noble reasons, to help cancer patients preserve their fertility.
  Alot of women and many men believe that women can easily get pregnant in their 40's. Part of the illusion comes from the celebrities who have IVF treatments in their mid 40's but don't say that's how they actually conceived.
