A Chinese court has overruled a rare legal challenge brought by an unmarried Beijing woman seeking the right to freeze her eggs.

The Chaoyang Intermediate People's Court in Beijing said in a judgment that the hospital did not violate the woman's rights in denying her access to freeze her eggs. Teresa Xu received the court judgment Friday, almost three years after she first brought the case.

In 2018, Xu, then 30 years old, had gone to Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital at Capital Medical University, a public hospital, to ask about freezing her eggs. After an initial examination, she was told she could not proceed further because she could not show a marriage certificate. She said the doctor also urged her to have a child while she was still young.

"I think this lost lawsuit, it's not an attack on single women's reproductive rights, maybe it's a temporary setback," she said in a short video statement announcing the news on her WeChat account.

You don’t have to do it in China! Go to another country

I don’t even know this as some “news” in Beijing, no one dare to report this (everything about Covid and nothing about women!

I consider myself a worldly person, as well as an excellent scholar, but stories like this make me proud to be an American where I can actually put my eggs in the freezer without the government's approval.

Court rules against woman.... is this new?

Chinese court rules against unmarried woman who wanted to freeze eggsTeresa Xu, who is unmarried, had wanted to preserve her eggs so she could have an option to bear children at a later date. But a Chinese court ruled against it. Judging by China's plummeting birth rate I would say that is a bad decision for China and a great decision for the rest of the world. I do wonder how long it will be before China starts a forced fertility program anyway.

Israel Supreme Court: Citizenship can be revoked for breach of loyaltyIsrael's Supreme Court rules that the state can revoke citizenship for 'breach of loyalty', sparking concerns that the law could be used against Palestinian citizens of Israel When are western governments going to stand up to the criminal Israeli regime? What will it take before they say enough is enough. Do they not remember their own history? It's unbelievable what they are getting away with. MichealMartinTD LeoVaradkar simoncoveney Could? That's the whole point of passing the law. Silence any criticism of their criminal behaviour. How is this any different than slavery? Because this is slavery in modern age! Israel who benefits from US taxes have rubbed on their slavery system. The masters are people behind a system which PEOPLE created and implemented. This ludicrous pledge just cloaks racist Israelis.
