Single women in China are not allowed to freeze their eggs for use in the future, a fact that is central to the issue of single women's reproductive rights, according to a well-known sociologist and sexologist based in Beijing.

Li Yinhe made the remarks as a heated public discussion about the issue is gradually escalating into one about separating reproduction and marriage.
