There's an X probability.

Here are the things you can do to protect yourself.

But there was this assumption like people don't want to know because now they're going to live in dread and their life is going to be destroyed if they know they're going to get full-blown Huntington's or something like that.

It's actually, I mean, it borders on unethical.

People are smart.

People can take in information, and they can make decisions that don't necessarily crater them on the basis of just knowledge.

I mean, it feels like we sort of treat people like children, like little children.

Even little children would probably want to know certain things, although you don't want to give them genetic information, but certain things like, hey, you have a challenge with X, Y, and Z, and you can overcome it in the following ways.

And I think with blood testing, the price coming down, it seems to me maybe it's just the circles I run in that people want more information as opposed to less.

But I'm glad that you raised these cases where people don't want to know certain amounts of information.

One thing that – well, I'll just pose this as a question.

How many women out there do you think know –

if, I have to be careful how I word this, if doing a egg harvest cycle decreases their ovarian reserve or not.

And I think the myth is that by doing a cycle of egg freezing, that you're taking more eggs from your reserve.

But as you pointed out, women are losing the same number of eggs each month or follicles each month.

Regardless, you're maximizing on that process by just maturing more and taking them as opposed to letting them die.

And I think people also assume, because they haven't been told, that if you do an egg, you know, if you stimulate for more to mature, that you're somehow taking away from eggs that you would have had, you know, stuck around somehow.

So we're saying the same thing three different ways.

A very practical question.

It's clear that the younger that a woman is, the more eggs that could be frozen in a given cycle.
