Antique Clock

"Egg freezing allows women to choose a conception date by freezing eggs in their 20s for use as late as their 50s. It is fertility intervention for women who don't necessarily have fertility problems, a sort of precautionary IVF. And, because a healthy woman can carry a baby in her womb long after menopause, in theory it gives her (almost) the same reproductive window as a man."

Too bad this technology wasn't available earlier; it would have saved many women I know from bad relationships they entered into because they were terrified that their biological clock was ticking. Now, the biological clock should become a collector's item belonging in museums.
