halacha - May a woman freeze her ova?



Is a woman allowed to freeze her own ova if she is coming to the later years of her life and is afraid she will miss her opportunity to have her own children naturally or otherwise, or is that frowned upon in Halacha?



Answer



The worldwide experts in fertility and halacha are Machon Pu'ah. They have a questions & answers section on their website.


According to Rabbi Elhanan Lewis (link) it is permissible with halachic supervision.


I second the opinion to ask your local rabbi, and I think it is relevant to draw your rabbi's attention to Machon Pu'ah.
