Women Safety

                                    Women Safety IS?!

"It all started with a woman" seems so biased isnt it yes and no would be my answer,as i say,Wow ||man|| oh! I may sound a bit rhetorical,but as many religion apparently preach women were the part of the man's physical abode.And this abode is accountable for the safety of its 'soul' which many choose to forget and It would be gender chauvinism if I fail to address Women  concerns in this era of equality.
The present society of India which would be better to call  a uncivilized one as on a daily basis we tend to be unnerved by a plethora of news catering to atrocities on women.These Crimes range from posh urban cities to the dimly villages.The recent case of the ''Uber'' cab rape has raised an alarm in a society armed with information technology.Not only that today's generation uses 'it' they even eat,drink,play,sleep and befriend the technology.With this dire faithful inclination towards technology opens much scope for the people to be exploited by it.

Nowadays with the taxi service too outsourced by the online services,people have taken a backseat and book a cab as they please.The quantum of the issue lies in the regularization of these services as to who is responsible for the non-compliance of these services.People don't know as to whom they would turn to if the are deprived by these un registered web based services.Moreover the taxi driver is also associated with more than one group of taxi service providers,which becomes chaotic to identify a particular person as to with which company he is associated with.

But the main quora today is not the civic sense,not the Information Tech ,not even the taxi or the previous grievous cases,the exact defect lies in Ones thinking.Development is of no value if a person in US having all facilities has no moral duty for his Country in his mind.So the inception of growth and progress need to be embedded in our minds itself.We need to believe that righteousness is the true path to the zenith of life.Everyone should discharge his or her duties with dedication and for the welfare of the Citizens of the own country.This amicable feeling of self respect for each other would make us the comrades of an infallible union of states 'India'.Jai Hind!!

Why women should know about egg storage?

BIOTECH: Why Corporate Women Should Worry About Egg Storage?


Confused! you should not be, when this article unfolds through the unfathomable  introspects of biotechnology you will be able to anticipate the apt reason for Egg Storage especially in India and at this era of competition and Globalisation.

You must have heard about the Child born in the case of elder women in their late 20’s like 27-35 or above conceive a child with Down’s syndrome, which means the child is impaired of its brain and also possibly having low IQ.
It’s also the case when the new born child could be of several deformities due to chromosome aberration which is because of the late conceiveness of its mother. It is not a 100% guarantee that every women conceiving at her late 20’s would conceive an aberrated child but it is highly possible especially in a developing country like India
Now you must be wondering probably what has gone wrong in all of those ladies that this deformity often happens, the reason is inside the women itself .A women naturally discharges 1 egg per month generally from her ovaries. But you will be surprised to know that all the eggs which are required by the women for her entire reproduction life is being produced at her puberty age only .That is by merely within 16  years of age a girl has produced all her eggs which are stored in her ovaries.
Now the part of main concern are since the eggs age with time they are vulnerable to various exposures or afflictions as imposed by the girls to her body .Say the woman undergoes X-rays ,UV tests ,Antibiotics  ,Smoking, Drinking ,Pollution or any terminal illness which might affect the eggs to the very extent of a possible impaired child being born .This is not a case in the semen of a male counterpart because in males the semen/sperm is produced immediately as and when required.

So as to find an intricate solution to this complex problem biotechnology has gifted us with the state of the art what we call it as EGG BANKS.
these are not like the banks you go in ,rather these banks are actually storage units for EGGS under a temperature of -196*C with the help of Liquid Nitrogen .By this time you would be wondering how this storing would help women ,actually these egg banks can store the eggs to an extent of 10-100 years and within this period the eggs would not age and they would be in the same state as they were deposited .Any couple would have the liberty to conceive as they please.
This procedure would actually provide the Women their liberty to make their decision in their careers and not bother about conceiving early or rushing into the decision of early marriage or fast conceiving .Women would be free to take their own time by accomplishing what they want and later be a mother to a healthy Child. Recently, this had been practised by the APPLE INCORPORATION in USA where they provided free egg storage of their female workforce which was nearly 50% of their total employees, So that the women could safeguard their professional as well as personal interests.

Coming to what is the stand of this egg storage in India ,in fact India doesn’t  have any strict laws in this field whereas there are certain guidelines which are to be followed. But recently the first EGG Bank in India had been opened in
Ahmedabad and then the suit has followed in other metro cities. "The director of IVI Madrid had also said: "Freezing of eggs will also enable career-oriented women to freeze their eggs till they are ready for motherhood. Most importantly, women suffering from cancer will also be able to preserve their eggs before starting chemotherapy which is known to cause infertility and fulfil their dream of motherhood late. “
In India, egg freezing can cost between Rs. 20,000 – Rs. 80,000.(nova fertility)
 So ladies, put your doubts to rest and don’t let the biological clock command your life’s decisions. Preserve your fertility for tomorrow while living your life on your own terms today.
