Under the proposals announced by Health Secretary Sajid Javid on Monday, prospective parents would be given the option to keep or dispose of frozen reproductive cells or embryos at 10-year intervals. The existing storage limit is 10 years.
Doctors had argued that the current limit after which prospective parents must decide whether to undergo fertility treatment or have the cells destroyed was too restrictive. Research from the Royal College of Obstetricians has suggested that frozen eggs can be stored indefinitely without deterioration, thanks to a modern freezing technique.
Javid said, “The current storage arrangements can be severely restrictive for those making the important decision about when to start a family, and this new legislation will help turn off the ticking clock in the back of people’s minds.
If we invested in worker owned businesses, women could afford to have babies and would not need to put their eggs in storage!
