Why ARE Cambridge dons warning students: ‘Don’t forget to have a baby’?
The president of an all-female college at Cambridge University, Dorothy Byrne is set to introduce fertility lessons for her students, to make sure they don't leave it too late to start a family. Medical Minefield's Eve Simmons speaks to Byrne, and argues it's not only unnecessary, but also puts unnecessary pressure on young women. We also hear from consultant gynaecologist Jess McMicking, who believe that a balance needs to be struck between informing women and alarming them.
