SINGAPORE: The age limit of elective egg freezing will be raised from 35 to 37, when it is implemented by Jul 1, announcedThis comes after a recent review of local and international evidence which revealed that the success rates from egg freezing and the subsequent usage of the eggs remain"relatively stable" for women up to 37 years old.
With the changes, women aged 21 to 37 will be able to undergo elective egg freezing in Singapore. Only legally married couples will be able to use the frozen eggs for procreation. "The older a woman gets, the number of eggs are going to decrease significantly and not just that, the quality of eggs are also going to decline," she said."So getting sufficient eggs to even have a live birth is going to be challenging to say the least."
At a doorstop interview on Monday, reporters asked Minister of State for Social and Family Development and Home Affairs Sun Xueling whether the government would consider allowing non-married women to use the frozen eggs for procreation in the future.
