women can already cryogenize their eggs, so what is the value proposition? Even if one could transform a stem cell into an egg, that would be extremely dangerous. The stem cell for a human of say 50/60 years old has accumulated many kinds of damage over time (oxidative stress, mitochondria bioenergetics, DNA, proteasomomal deficits, etc)
