Amid the trend of delayed marriages and childbirth, many single women freeze their eggs for future fertility plans, with Taiwan and other regions offering subsidies for egg freezing. However, concerns arise about the effectiveness of increasing birth rates and addressing declining population. South Korea, with the world's lowest birth rate, offers egg freezing subsidies, leading to low usage rates and surplus eggs. Discussions on potentially donating unused frozen eggs to the government or ethical considerations have surfaced. Similar egg freezing subsidies in Japan require educational courses prior to acceptance, emphasizing informed decision-making. With the growing popularity of egg freezing, considerations on usage and future impact are essential for policy planning and individual choices.
