- Double-weighted statement
- This book qualifies for double-weighting because it is a monograph of 120,000 words based on eight years of research. It provides a detailed social analysis of the gender politics of ageing after the mainstreaming of egg freezing as a biotechnology for fertility extension. In doing so, it also incorporates analyses of related technologies such as frozen egg donation, mitochondrial transfer, and embryo selection with time-lapse imaging - - all of which similarly reflect broader biotechnological reconfigurations of fertility and ageing.
