Dr. Miriam Stoppard: Article Analysis

Improved Essays
I read an article written by an English doctor named Dr. Miriam Stoppard. She writes in her article that freezing eggs can have drastic pros and cons, with each factor playing a huge role in the process. Freezing a woman’s eggs can be extremely costly, due to it being a lengthy process. It, on average, could cost around $10,000 dollars for a woman to freeze her eggs without the guarantee of the process actually working, with a 70% success rate with eggs from a woman in her mid-30s versus a 50% success rate with women 38 and over. However, freezing a woman’s eggs does come with some pros. For example, if a woman does not have the time, money or a partner to have a baby, freezing her eggs can allow her a chance of still conceiving when she is

    Wood did not get the recognition for inventing IVF, he contributed to the research that led to the invention of IVF by Dr. Robert Edwards. Dr. Edwin Carl Wood was named ‘‘the Father of IVF’’ for pioneering the use of frozen embryos (Kovacs & Leeton, 2011). Wood’s contribution of the cryopreservation method has revolutionized the success rate of IVF. This has altered medical history by providing future gynecologists and obstetricians the opportunity to preserve gametes and embryos of patients. Couples that were sterile (infertile) or have had trouble conceiving now have more options to choose from when considering children.…

    Maria Mitchell was an educator, a feminist, and perhaps most notably, the first female to work as a professional astronomer in the United States. She gained fame in 1847 when she excused herself from a dinner party to survey the sky using her father’s telescope, and discovered a comet. This comet became known as “Miss Mitchell’s Comet” and won her a gold medal which was presented to her by the Danish government (Mitchell 1889, 331-343). Mitchell was born in Nantucket, Massachusetts to Quaker parents. She was born into a community which was rather progressive for its time, in regard to women’s rights.…

    Reading Stacy Lee’s article was very eye opening to me. Being a minority myself, I was no stranger to many of the things she spoke about. The biggest thing I took away from the article was the idea of being categorized and boxed in; separated on different levels with whites being at the top of the scale and everyone else falls below that; some lower than others but always lesser than whites. Based on how you look, people will assume different things about you and that all originates from back in the day when slavery came into the picture. The idea of a better and/or best race came from there and even though slavery is officially no more, the idea of a better race still lives on through media.…

    Julieanne Lamond’s article discusses the history of marginalization of Australian women writers, specifically in relation to the Miles Franklin Literary Award. The article is set in response to concerns that the Miles Franklin perpetuates the idea that certain kinds of experiences (male, past, ‘the bush’) are more ‘Australian’ than others, and how this has influenced the gender balance of our awards and literary prizes. Lamond iterates that- because of this- the women’s only literary award: the Stella Prize is both much needed and aptly named. This article provides me with some contextual information for my essay- specifically the question of a perceived ‘Australian literary voice’ as proposed by the Miles Franklin award. I’m also interested…

Passage 1: “In Europe, they used fermentation — and the resulting alcohol killed microbes, even when, as was often the case, it was mixed with water. On the other side of the world, people purified their water by boiling it and making tea.
