Facebook and Apple will pay to freeze your eggs as an employee benefit, is that right?



Am I the only one to find this dystopian? Society should adapt to humans and not the other way around.


I agree. The implicit messaging is: "If you care about your career, then you should freeze your eggs. We'll pay for it, so no excuses." It's like they're admitting to the fact that pregnant women will be discriminated against professionally.


That is great, but also deeply depressing.
