letters greet women at Trellis, an egg-freezing studio in New York. “It’s up to each of us to invent our own future,” they enjoin. No baby pictures here, of the sort that adorn joyless waiting rooms at traditional fertility clinics. Instead the client-experience manager, Casy Tarnas, invites visitors to grab a charcoal-coloured “fertility-friendly juice”. Turkish-cotton robes await. If this feels like a spa rather than surgery, that is the idea.
The money is flowing not just into treating infertility but also preserving fertility and, even further removed from conception, diagnosing if either treatment or preservation might be needed one day . Of these, infertility treatment is the most mature, though the landscape remains fragmented 41 years after the firstIn America and Europe consolidation is now afoot. Private-equity firms think they can cut costs, acquire more patient data and build brands, as they have done with dental clinics.
The procedure mushroomed in America after the American Society for Reproductive Medicine removed the “experimental” label from it in 2012. In 2017 nearly 11,000 American women froze their eggs, 24% more than the previous year, according to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology. In Britain the number of frozen-egg cycles doubled between 2013 and 2016, to 1,321. Egg-freezers claim margins similar toAlthough preservation services are mostly aimed at women, firms are also eyeing men.
All fertility businesses stir controversy. Last year Pacific, a fertility clinic in San Francisco, and the Cleveland Medical Centre, in Ohio, lost many eggs and embryos to faulty storage.Fertility, in Los Angeles, has been accused of implanting the wrong embryos, which led to the birth mother having to give up twins who were genetically related to two other couples.
I think we have enough people, thanks.
Dear friends, follow didnotyouknow7 You'll know a lot of interesting! 🔥😊
Incorrect terminology. Egg freezing is sold to women. Embryo freezing is sold to couples.
Asking for help the last couple weeks my sister & I have been struggling to get by I lost my jobs as a janitor and filed for unemployment im waitin to get the benefits but until then were asking if anyone is willing to donate $1 It would help a ton Venmo or Cashapp MattMartins147
The problem stays when we consider the ART as a business and not a treatment to covercome a situation derived from an illness. It should be a treatment and not an business.
You will be a good parent?
TaylorRMarshall Hmm. Now?
Interesting 'business' segment of the healthcare industry. People and insurance companies pay tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars to doctors and there is no guarantee of a successful outcome.
Mishcon_de_Reya Master yeahh
Mishcon_de_Reya Wow 👀
Mishcon_de_Reya fertility is human most basic instinct, why need go to clinics
Mishcon_de_Reya A precipitous drop in male sperm counts coupled with a stratospheric rise in the number of people with gender dysphoria, yet nobody seems to be concerned with learning why this is happening. We just go to fertility clinics and sex change specialists. Dumb humans.
Mishcon_de_Reya And yet there are so many many orphans. If people were not so egotistical that they needed to reproduce their “own” image and likeness. I am guilty of this as well. By taking care of each other we have an opportunity to make the world a better place.
Mishcon_de_Reya Better than kill babies.
जिस समस्या से हम जूझ रहे हैं उस समस्या से विश्व नहीं जूझ रहा। हमें बंद करने की जरूरत है। विश्व के अन्य देशों में खोलने के केंद्र बने हुए हैं।
They are promising anonymity to gamete donors still so yes.

Too many people on the planet already, if you really want a child in your life, be a foster parent, there are a lot of kids that need a safe, stable, loving home.
Babies depend on God.

Not for me and if I couldn't have children I would just adopt.
I pity anybody tricked into this scheme
WOW
Demolition man. Ole sly and sandra b..wow thats a blast from the past.
If instead of spending USD 624 million to bring more people to an already overpopulated planet, that money was spent in developing new energy sources and storage technologies, we could have made progress to slow down climate change. ClimateChange

What if, one day, only 'rich' people can reproduce (and eat healthy food)? Is it important people think money is more important than life, health - and education?

I love the fact that women who is aware of the situation is not a lost cause.
Who will use them?

I wonder what genetic defects we're creating?
Such a poorly researched article from no consideration about the funds know what they’re doing (they don’t) or the actual evidence of whether there has been successful consolidation (there hasn’t) Focus on $$$ rather than values and strategy, leads to poor analysis.
This is not surprising as infertility rates continue to increase. More research needs to be done as to the “why” this is happening.

Thanks to the HPV vax (Cevarix, Gardasil) making women infertile everywhere from Colombia to Japan to Ireland, and being mandated in many places due to industry lobbying, this is indeed (ironically) fertile ground for investment. Go, go, go!
Infertility is a genuine public health issue with causes unknown for 1/3 of patients and trends show no slowing down. It should be address as such with research going into finding what’s happening with reproductive health.
