Abstract
Egg freezing, or oocyte cryopreservation, has evolved from a medical necessity to a visionary reproductive strategy. Increasingly adopted by women for non-medical reasons, this practice reflects broader shifts in societal norms, gender roles, and reproductive autonomy. This article explores the sociocultural, psychological, and ethical dimensions of elective egg freezing, examining contributing factors such as social conformity, bodily autonomy, and fertility-related anxiety. It concludes by evaluating the benefits and implications of this growing trend.
