"Chinese Woman Fights for Right to Freeze Eggs in Appeals Case"

An unmarried Chinese woman is appealing a hospital's denial of access to freeze her eggs in a landmark case of female reproductive rights in the country. The judgment will have strong implications for the lives of many unmarried women in China and the country's demographic changes. Although the law does not explicitly ban unmarried people from fertility treatments, hospitals and other institutions require people to present a marriage license. The woman argues that the denial constitutes a violation of her right to bodily autonomy and is fighting for the right of single women to access fertility treatments.
