Checking Eggs

I cannot decide if this is a good thing or not: A doctor in the U.K. developed a test that will allow a woman to predict, based on the number of eggs present in her ovaries, how many years she has left to conceive.

Pro: A large number of women who put off having families in order to pursue their careers have difficulty becoming pregnant once they have established themselves in the workplace.

Con: If this test is not entirely accurate, it could give women either a false sense of security or a false sense of urgency about having a family.

Nevertheless, it certainly is interesting and will surely be popping up in the U.S. soon.
