Egg freezing: Putting pregnant workers on ice
The Stream explores why some companies are offering the medical procedure to female employees.
Female employees at Facebook and Apple now have the option to freeze their eggs. The companies claim the added benefit is an attempt to attract more women workers. Some are applauding the decision as a generous offer that gives women options. Others say it sends a nasty warning that women need to be more like men. What do you think?
