While the demand for “social freezing” services has increased significantly in recent years, the number of cryopreserved eggs that are actually being used in treatment remains very low, so far. Both tendencies indicate a continuously growing stock of unused oocytes. In this article, I discuss the possibility that the growing stock could be co-opted to solve the problem of egg procurement especially for biomedical research. As a consequence, the secondary utilization of female fertility resources would become their main form of use. However, this would finally turn the customers of fertility services into unintended productive forces of a cryotechnologically advanced bioeconomy. The paper discusses the risk of a subtle form of exploitation that could be associated with this reproductive service in the future, which will pose further challenges for the practice of informed consent.

冷产量。“社会冷冻”客户的冷冻保存卵母细胞作为生物医学研究的潜在选择价值

尽管近年来对“社会冷冻”服务的需求显着增加，但迄今为止实际用于治疗的冷冻卵子数量仍然很少。这两种趋势都表明未使用的卵母细胞库存不断增加。在这篇文章中，我讨论了可以选择生长种群来解决鸡蛋采购问题的可能性，特别是对于生物医学研究。因此，女性生育资源的二次利用将成为她们的主要利用方式。然而，这最终将把生育服务的客户变成低温技术先进生物经济的意外生产力。该论文讨论了未来可能与这种生殖服务相关的一种微妙的剥削形式的风险，
