Abstract
Egg freezing is marketed as a way for women to preserve their fertility, but the law imposes a 10 year storage time limit, with limited options for extension. The result is that a woman’s eggs may have to be destroyed before she needs to use them, which is contrary to good medical practice and a breach of her right to private and family life.
