Women face legal dilemma over egg-freezing procedure

By Xin Wen | China Daily | Updated: 2018-05-02 07:19

A growing number of younger females are pushing to extend their period of fertility, as Xin Wen reports.

In February, when Zhan Yingying turned 30, she wrote to the Committee of the Jilin Provincial People's Congress and asked it to guarantee her right to have her eggs frozen so she could be sure of starting a family at a later date.

The psychology graduate contacted the Jilin authorities because in 2002, deputies in the province passed a law granting unmarried women access to assisted reproductive technology, making the northeastern province the only place in China to offer the procedure for single women.
