Miriam Cates, the MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge, has said she fears women are being exploited by large corporations offering them money to freeze their eggs to put off having children to a later age.The 41-year-old mother-of-three said she is concerned women are being falsely reassured by the existence of procedures such as IVF into deciding to delay pregnancy until their late 30s.The MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge told the Mail On Sunday: 'Egg freezing doesn't work.
'By the time women think about doing this, for obvious reasons they are thinking, 'my biological clock is ticking, I've not met the right guy, I'm not ready to settle down'.'But, unfortunately, if you freeze your eggs after the age of 35 or so, they are not good quality enough to likely result in a later pregnancy, and I think it is quite unethical for commercial companies to be targeting women.
