Abstract:
With the increasing diversification of family structures and fertility patterns, more and more unmarried women choose to have children alone. This new fertility model has aroused widespread discussion and controversy in society. Given the current situation and related research on single women’s fertility, the paper discussed the issues, such as Bianchin’s utility theory and feminist theory, the change in the views of marriage and fertility, the social problems existing in the clinical application of frozen eggs and assisted reproductive technology (ART), as well as the protection of offspring’s rights and interests. It also proposed legal and policy recommendations and countermeasures to regulate frozen eggs and ART techniques, safeguard reproductive rights, and protect offspring’s rights and interests, with a view to providing ideas for the study of fertility policies for single women.
