Abstract: As a way of female fertility preservation, oocyte cryopreservation technology(OCT) has attracted more attention from the society. The health technology assessment (HTA) research progresses on OCT are important evidence basis for OCT clinical application promotion. Literatures on the maternal and offspring safety, efficacy and social ethics assessment of OCT were reviewed in this paper. Based on the current OCT evaluation evidence, short-term safety and effectiveness were confirmed, but long-term maternal and child safety should be testified in a large scale follow-up study. Social ethics evaluation methods of human assisted reproductive technology(ART) research were still in the exploratory stage. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the social ethics evaluation methods and system of human ART, including OCT, in China.
