I'm a bit surprised by the negative feedback this is receiving -- it seems like this is a nice perk that gives women more flexibility in balancing work and family.

    There were a few points brought up on a panel discussion I heard this morning, the main ones being:

    1) Freeze your eggs at 25, implant them at 35 or 40, and you're still pregnant at 40. You'll have a teenager when you're in your late 50s.

    2) Why this, and not a year of maternity/paternity leave?
