Thaw
Parenthood. On ice.
Egg freezing is now a global phenomenon, used by women all over the world. But its outcomes can’t be known until years later, when the eggs are thawed and fertilized. THAW follows three American women navigating difficult choices about their biological clocks, and questioning what “choice” actually means in this new era of eggs on ice.
