Abstract
Programmed cell death (PCD) has been discussed and categorized endlessly over the years. Herein, we comment on the chaotic classification of PCD in the mammalian ovary and the compartmentalized ovarian follicle based on an unfiltered overview of the extent of publication about some of the different modes of PCD on PubMed.
