Happy Birthday, Dear Frozen Eggs, Happy Birthday to You
New York Times ^ | 9/1/24 | Jesssica Roy

Posted on 09/01/2024 12:05:04 PM PDT by Round Earther

Egg showers have become common on social media, but a Brooklyn woman has gone a step further by throwing her eggs a birthday party every year. Lauren Martinez was well prepared for a birthday party in her backyard in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. She set out a tray of deviled eggs next to syringes filled with confetti; there were Eggo waffles, egg salad sandwiches, a quiche and onion dip with roe. There was also a bag of mini chocolate eggs and a tray of cupcakes, each decorated with white and yellow frosting in the shape of a fried egg.

Right before the event was supposed to start, her friend showed up with a homemade cake — “brat” green — with two fried eggs made of fondant on top.

If you’re sensing a theme, that’s because this wasn’t just any birthday celebration: It was the third birthday party for Ms. Martinez’s frozen eggs. On the invitation, which was dispatched to more than 40 friends, she called it her “cool mom bday party.”

What an idiot. Seriously. Are we getting more and more stupid just to attract any attention we can get?

Should be a funeral. Minimum 90% will be murdered once thawed.

Eggs are murder?

A woman’s frozen eggs alone are simply unfertilized cells. It is when they are fertilized by a male sperm (also, by itself, just a cell) that they become a human being. The New York Times is trying to further confuse already stupid people by equating the two.

This is stupid and doesn’t make sense.

She harvested eggs and now says that it is their birthday?

If she did this for fertilized embryos it would still be bizarre, but would make more sense.

Does she say Happy Birthday to the eggs in the dairy section at the grocery?

Some people are just stupid.

The NYT is trying to gin up games of lets-you-and-him-fight.

Refuse to join in.

“ “I was also just really proud of myself for working through all those weird feelings and for being in a place financially where I could choose to make this decision”

Means, “after I got myself brainwashed.”

Well, had they not have been “harvested” 100% would have died in her monthly periods. Just sayin’.

If they’re just unfertilized eggs, I don’t think it’s murder. I

this is so off the mark it’s like throwing a birthday party for your pet chicken by serving a bucket of Col Sanders and chicken salad sandwiches
