The great equalizer: Facebook, Apple now paying for women to freeze their eggs

Egg freezing, cryonic process

Facebook and Apple have become two of the first major companies to offer an interesting perk for female employees: Egg freezing. Since January this year, women at Facebook have had the option of having their eggs harvested and frozen, for future in-vitro fertilization (IVF) -- and from January 2015, women at Apple will be granted the same benefit. Is this just the next phase in the Silicon Valley "perks arms race," or, from a more cynical perspective, is it just a way to keep female employees focused on the prize?
