Superwomen 5

Since last week I spoke again about my egg freezing in Madrid, I thought an update on this very personal topic was a good idea.

As a reminder, I received this Gift from Science one year after my Solo Wedding in Santorini.

And for this article, I’ve chosen to use my photos of clouds, all the photos are mine, like for my article Meditation.

The sky is a great source of artistic inspiration and to me it represents hope.
Hope I wish to radiate and spread in this patriarchal world ...

First of all, I’d like to point out that in June 2021, France is still one of the 3 countries in Europe (Austria and Malta) that don’t allow egg freezing for singles and lesbians!

In 2019, a law was passed to allow all women to use this procedure, unfortunately this law was rejected by the Senate recently, and right now we have absolutely no idea when it’ll be possible one day ...

As we celebrate Pride Month for the LGBTQ + community of which I’m an unconditional ally, it seemed important to me to recall this system anomaly.

At the present time it seems unthinkable that single women and lesbian women can’t freeze their oocytes and use IVF!

However, women who rebel, like Teresa Xu, a 31-year-old single woman who went to Chinese court in 2019 - another country that bans freezing for single women - to demand equal rights.

Unfortunately, again, no hope was obtained. An injustice even more outrageous since Chinese men can freeze their sperm, which is not the case in France, no gender discrimination on that side (good or bad, the debate is open!).

After 40 years of IVF (in-vitro fertilization) and 30 years of freezing technique, we’re moving too slowly.

And more and more women who travel to foreign countries (myself included) to have this type of procedure, which is sadly reminiscent of the case of abortion.

Not to mention that the cost of treatment and travel is not accessible to everyone.

Incredible women who never stop fighting for our happiness, Australian Dr. Debra Gook opened the world's first egg bank in 1994 at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne (Australia). After 5 years of intense research, she’s the one who discovered the technique of freezing oocytes.

Despite this great advance, the medical world was reluctant, yet the practice of freezing sperm dates from the 1970s ...

Then another woman, Dr. Eleonora Porcu, Italian, decided to follow in her footsteps, followed by Dr. Nicole Noyes in the United States.

Thank you to all these women, and the men who support them, who support us, for making a difference and offering future generations the freedom to choose!

    Confucius said nature makes men identical, life makes them different.
    I think that everything happens for a reason and every moment helps to build our personality.  I don't like rules, I follow mine. It is time for me to share my unconventional life and my unusual experience...
