In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the process of implanting a fertilized egg into a womans ovaries in order to induce pregnancy. This requires sperm, which is sometimes contributed by a partner and sometimes by a donor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Its part of a new breed of projects <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">built on Stacks<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><span id=\"m_1775470401819400820gmail-docs-internal-guid-ca9d27c1-7fff-d598-dcf3-180b5eb790bb\">a blockchain that shares a native connection with Bitcoin through proof-of-transfer, <\/span>which enables decentralized apps, smart contracts, and digital assets to be <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stacks.co\/technology\">settled<\/a> and verified on Bitcoin blocks.<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Eggschain is one of these new decentralized apps, or DApps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But why do sperm donations and embryo implantations need to be registered on a blockchain, to begin with? The answers lie in scalability for a seamless sperm selection process across various jurisdictions, not to mention high-level patient-data protection, guarding against loss or misfiling of data, and making the system more transparent overall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If things go well, Eggshains blockchain-based matching solution may soon bear fruit around the world. Its not here yet, but the revolution is coming.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eggschain\"><\/span>Eggschain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Eggschains blockchain is secured by Bitcoin via <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stacks<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a Y Combinator-incubated startup building a user-owned Internet secured by Bitcoin. <\/span><span id=\"m_1775470401819400820gmail-docs-internal-guid-c2b44c0a-7fff-da44-4f29-22653593a096\">In practice, this means that Stacks operationalizes smart contracts and DApps, such as Eggschain, by synching up with Bitcoin on every 10-minute block to embed an indelible, permanent record.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dear community, the moment we have all been waiting for.<\/p>\n<p>We couldn&#039;t be happier to announce our first cohort of 25 startups building on Bitcoin w\/ Stacks.<\/p>\n<p> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2iZ1kOiGhy\">https:\/\/t.co\/2iZ1kOiGhy<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>\u2014 startups.btc (@StacksStartups) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StacksStartups\/status\/1407660030074101772?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 23, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Eggschain solution has not yet been released. I dont want to commit to a timeline, Escala says, in part because, We are among the first developers building on the Stacks blockchain. This seems to be a reasonable answer, as it is common for blockchain projects to hit delays  whether caused by technical, legal or budgetary challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While lower transaction fees influenced the choice to build on a Bitcoin sidechain instead of other chains like Ethereum, Bitcoins reputation as an incorruptible ledger was decisive. Bitcoin will be around for hundreds or thousands or millions of years, Escala says, as if stating a basic scientific fact. While speaking of millions of years can be written off as overzealous marketing, choosing a chain to track reproduction means backing the one most likely to survive far into the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bitcoin is the oldest blockchain in the world and very established, and the gas fees are low compared to some of the other leading blockchains by a huge magnitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Escala explains that When your sperm is donated, that is a transaction that gets hashed onto the blockchain, complete with an indelible time stamp. Further transactions take place when the sperm is implanted into a woman or into an egg. The time between egg fertilization and implantation can stretch for years, and sperm has been <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/GMA\/OnCall\/story?id=7303722\">kept<\/a> frozen for as long as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">22 years<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and still been used successfully.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In practice, this means that a donor will be able to see how many times their sperm has been used, giving them a rough idea of how many children they might have and in what <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> areas. This may even serve to gamify the sperm donation experience, even if the donor is not willing to ever be contacted by their offspring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>(function() {window.mc4wp = window.mc4wp || {listeners: [],forms: {on: function(evt, cb) {window.mc4wp.listeners.push({event   : evt,callback: cb});}}}})();<!-- Mailchimp for WordPress v4.8.6 - https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/mailchimp-for-wp\/ --><\/p>\n<div class=\"mc4wp-form-fields\">\n<div class=\"jeg_mc4wp_heading\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_best_of_blockchain_every_Tuesday\"><\/span>The best of blockchain, every Tuesday<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>  Subscribe for thoughtful explorations and leisurely reads from Magazine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>By subscribing you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy<\/div>\n<p><label>Leave this field empty if you&#8217;re human: <\/label><\/p>\n<div class=\"mc4wp-response\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- \/ Mailchimp for WordPress Plugin --><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though Bitcoin itself is a transparent blockchain that allows transactions to be traced back, Escala explains that Eggschain, as it functions with Stacks, cannot be backtracked in such a way that the family tree can be tracked up and down. This is by design, as Just because someone received your donated sperm, it doesnt give them the authority to read through your life  it is almost an invasion of your privacy, according to Escala.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pullquote align-center\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Patient identifiable information cannot be on the blockchain.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Freezing_desire\"><\/span>Freezing desire<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In India and much of Africa, it is normal for women to have their first baby by the age of 20.

The pressure to delay pregnancy is all the more increased with the modern reality that career growth often requires frequent moving between offices and countries  though perhaps the work-from-home era will bring change. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Heath issues like cancer, which is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/health-45497304#:~:text=There%20will%20be%2018.1%20million,a%20growing%20and%20ageing%20population.\">rising<\/a> worldwide, is another driver for the treatment, as woman seek to preserve their eggs before they are potentially damaged through chemotherapy treatment.

The laws of various jurisdictions could be programmed into the chain as well, effectively minimizing the legal red tape of international inseminations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Due to the scalability potential once the system is implemented, Eggschain has set its targets high.
