Xu Zaozao's lawsuit, a historic first in China, challenged the restrictive policies on assisted reproductive technology, claiming they violated her basic rights as a woman. Despite her loss, she expresses pride in her fight for women's reproductive rights, highlighting the ongoing struggle against a legal system that favors traditional family structures.
The court ruled that Xu's rights were not violated when her request to freeze eggs was denied, as current regulations restrict assisted reproductive technology access to married couples facing fertility issues.
Despite various governmental incentives to bolster the declining birthrate, restrictions remain in place that limit assisted reproductive technology solely to heterosexual married couples, signifying a biased approach towards single women.
Xu's case resonates with many as a symbol of the fight for gender equality in reproductive rights, showcasing the disparity in treatment between men and women regarding fertility options in China.
