Female age - related fertility decline: Far from the myth of the 'selfish working-girl' and the 'right to have a child'

摘要

Objectives. - To study the social dimension of age-related female infertility through an analysis of three key themes: the personal life histories of infertile women over 40 years of age; representations of age and the desire to become pregnant after age 40; opinions of French legislations framing Assisted Reproductive Technologies, age limits, egg donation, and egg freezing for non-medical reasons.
