Budget 2021 debate: Cheng Li Hui on allowing voluntary egg freezing

MP Cheng Li Hui spoke about assisted reproduction in Parliament on Thursday (Feb 25), urging Singapore to allow voluntary egg freezing. She said this can be done with mandatory counselling to ensure that women know what they are getting into, and with legislation such as imposing an age limit of 40 and approving egg thawing and fertilisation only after a couple is legally married. Ms Cheng said allowing voluntary egg freezing will also enable the creation of an egg bank in Singapore.
