/446/ The Techno-Fantasy of Perfect Freedom ft. Amber Trotter

On egg-freezing, 'having it all', and neoliberal liberty. [Patreon Exclusive] We welcome Damage editor and practicing psychologist Amber Trotter on to talk about "Frozen Freedom", Amber's piece on artificial reproductive technology and different kinds of freedom. Alex and George ask her about: How empowering is female emancipation from biological limitations and compulsions? Can women now "have it all"? Do men feel the contradictions of this type of freedom too? Is a proliferation of individual choice making us all neurotic? The childhood fantasy of adulthood is of omnipotence – where did it come from? What is the relationship between commitment, responsibility, collectivity, the individual, and freedom?
