Egg Freezing: A New Flight Route for the Stork?

Abstract

The demographic crisis poses an important threat to Italy’s future and, in order to be properly tackled, requires the adoption of various measures. The oocyte cryopreservation – egg freezing – has some challenges but, in this complex scenario, it should be part of a mix of policies designed by lawmakers with the aim of relaunching the fertility rate. Some entities, such as the Puglia Region, have already acted in this direction; however, without the involvement of the central State, it is difficult to experience a significant increase in the adoption of this medical method.
