TL;DR Summary

An unmarried Chinese woman, Teresa Xu, is making her final appeal for the right to freeze her eggs after being denied access to the service by a hospital five years ago. The case has drawn broad coverage in China and has strong implications for the lives of many unmarried women in the country and its demographic changes.

Xu argues that the denial constitutes a violation of her right to bodily autonomy.
