When Does Your Biological Clock End?
Every woman has one, but now you can get an app that continuously lets you know when your biological clock is up.
Artist Mira Kaddoura set up thewonderclock.com as an art project to get women to open up about fertility.
The website shows her own biological clock counting down as well as the explanation that she created this to face her own fears but also to enable women to empower themselves and remember that they are so much more than a ticking clock.
She told The Wire that the idea came to her after she had visited her doctor for an annual check-up and he had told her that if she was thinking about children, now was the time to seriously consider it.
The 30-year-old from Portland, Oregon decided to eliminate the ‘taboo’ stigma attached to talking about biological clocks by creating her website for the world to see.
She has also created a wearable belt, which had six screens each showing a different unit of time and an app that asks for your age and then calculates how long your clock has left on it before you may no longer be able to conceive naturally.
Mira insists it isn’t designed to make women fear their biological clock, quite the opposite, she designed it so that women can confront it whilst realising that it does not define who they are.
