Extended Fertility

It is so amazing how technology spurt out so fast and keep changing all the time. I was watching at the news and aside from in vitro fertilization and freezing sperm, women can now freeze our eggs. If you decide not to give birth early, you can now freeze your eggs in egg banks and wait until you are ready to sire. The process is the same as freezing and preserving the sperm although with eggs they take extra caution because it is more fragile than the sperm. So for women who wanted to have children later in life, you have your egg preserve early at a young age and then withdraw it by the time you are ready and want to give birth. It is still scary for me though. How about the environmental harm that may affect the eggs? I hope there will be no effects on it later on to the child being conceived.
