Doctors have managed to extract eggs from 5 -year-old girls and freeze them for use when they are old enough to have children. The scientific advance, which was thought to be impossible, will enable girls suffering childhood cancers such as leukemia to become parents later in life. Thousands are left infertile each year after undergoing chemotherapy.
It also opens the possibility of storing girls’ eggs to protect them against any form of infertility in later life.
Previously it was believed the eggs of young girls were too immature to be extracted.
Israeli doctors have, however, managed to extract the eggs and then culture them in test-tubes to make them viable. The resulting eggs are no different to those of a 20-year-old girl, say the doctors.

Editors Response:
#1-Our Daas Torah read the article (printed out from the website). [What kind of Daas Torah would pasken without seeing EXACTLY what was written?!]
#2-Stupidest question I have ever heard, second to complaining of the tznius issue.
#3-I’m sure you noticed the smiley face I made after making that “J-O-K-E”.
#4-You write “WERE TALKING ABOUT “DAAS TORAH”, yet you have the GALL to write two lines above that we should ask our Daas Torah who our Daas Torah should be.
I would advise you to stop while you are ahead.
You told us to ask Daas Torah. We did exactly that. Then you start bashing us?!
I RESPECT & THANK YOU !
