New technique to put menopause effectively ‘on ice’.

Tweet

A new technique has been developed by which women will be able to give birth in old age following an ovary transplant breakthrough that means they can postpone menopause until well after the 50s. The technique is to remove parts of an ovary at a young age, store them for decades and transplant them at an old age. The graft is to be transplanted according to the choice of the woman. If she wants to go through the menopause, she might do it, otherwise, first one should be transplanted as the woman approaches the menopausal age. The woman may put a slice back every decade to retain her reproductive stage as long as she desires. The most important benefit of this treatment is that a woman born today has a 50% chance of living to 100, which means they are going to be spending half of their lives post- menopause. But this new technique can defer menopause as long as they desire. Scientists are also of the opinion that this treatment could also have health benefits, by avoiding the increased risk of osteoporosis and heart disease linked to menopause. They, however, admit that it may raise the risk of breast and womb cancer. So what's your opinion about this new technique? Would it be a boon or a bane for woman?
