Whole frozen ovary transplanted

BBC NEWS | Health | Whole frozen ovary transplanted

This could be useful for cancer patients wishing to have families later, or people that change their minds and wish to have kids later in life. An added benefit would be less gene defects since the eggs would not age at the same rate as the mother.
If this method proved to be viable, then I am guessing the freezing process might work for as long as, say 15 years.
You then have the possibilty of a 50 year old woman working with her own eggs to have a baby, that are essentially from a 35 year old version of herself.
