Editor's note: Xu Zaozao, a 31-year-old single woman, recently sued the Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital after it rejected her request to freeze her eggs. According to regulations, unmarried women are forbidden to use assisted reproductive technology, including egg freezing, to defer their childbearing. Forum readers share their opinions.
