Chinese Court Upholds Ruling Against Xu Zaozao in Egg-Freezing Case
Aug 8, 2024, 09:21 AM
A Chinese court has upheld a ruling against Xu Zaozao, an unmarried woman who sued for the right to freeze her eggs. Xu's legal battle began in 2019 when a Beijing hospital refused her request to freeze her eggs due to her unmarried status. Despite losing her second court appeal, Xu's case underscores the limited reproductive options available to unmarried women in China. The government, facing a declining population, has not permitted unmarried women to access egg-freezing services, pushing some to seek costly treatments abroad or use unlicensed fertility clinics.
