Aside from the folktale about the penis masticating vagina, “Teeth,” the real world has its more- to lesser-known reasons as to why humans might have a fear to fornicate. No matter the reason, sexual fears are common, but you need to be able to separate the rational from irrational fears. Also, discover what your values are as a human, what you’re comfortable with sexually and what makes you feel happy. This is your body, your life and your choice, always.

“It’s definitely possible to have a live first baby (at 50), but the odds are like winning the lottery,” said Dr. John Zhang, medical director at New Hope Fertility Center at Columbus Circle.

As many as 1-million frozen embryos are preserved in storage facilities throughout the USA. Most are leftovers belonging to couples who could not conceive naturally. What to do with these excess embryos raises challenging ethical questions. Arise America discussed the ethical debate with Dr. John Zhang, founder and medical director of New Hope Fertility Center.

Original segment was aired in December 17th, 2015 in the series Health 1+1. New Hope Fertility Center’s Founder and Fertility doctor, Dr. John Zhang, discuss what is infertility and the leading cause of infertility.

Decades ago, it was hard to imagine public support for unconventional baby making. In vitro fertilization’s first “test tube baby,” Louise Brown, was born in 1978 to a world still enraptured by the futuristic genetic caste system put forth in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. But Brown is 36, and by now millions of families have experienced that same sense of joy as her parents had. The stigma of the practice — in which eggs are fertilized by sperm in a lab — certainly isn’t gone, but it’s lessening. A 2013 Pew survey showed only 12 percent of adults think IVF is morally wrong.

The questions become more frequent and alarming around 38. When people find out you are single and have not yet born a child, the reactions are almost vexed—from women and men alike—as if the end of the world is near and you’re about to pull the short end of the stick. But, your appalled audience collectively assures, there is a Noah’s ark, the antidote to the predicament that is a child-less future with one simple question: “Are you freezing your eggs?”
