BANGKOK (AP) — A court in Beijing has ruled against an unmarried Chinese woman in the case over her right to freeze her eggs. The verdict ends a six-year fight for reproductive services that drew national attention. The court upheld the ruling that a hospital did not violate Teresa Xu’s rights when it denied her access to egg freezing services. In China, hospital regulations require that a woman be married to freeze her eggs. Xu says she knew she had a low chance of winning the case but wanted to pursue it because of the potential societal impact.
