黄刚 and 陈花 discuss the proposal by National People's Congress representative 阮祥燕 on preserving fertility, exploring the significance of technologies like egg freezing and ovarian tissue freezing.
Honey, I read a news article today where NPC representative 阮祥燕 suggested setting up a national fertility preservation center and mentioned ovarian tissue freezing. Have you heard of it?
Yes, I saw that too. She's an expert in ovarian tissue cryopreservation in China and emphasized the importance of preserving fertility related to age.
Exactly. The article mentioned that many women are getting married and having children later, and by the time they want kids, they've missed the best reproductive window.
That's true. A woman's fertility declines with age, especially after 35. 阮祥燕 suggested that women of appropriate age consider freezing eggs or ovarian tissue as a safeguard for the future.
But I think it's not just about age. She also pointed out that many cancer patients lose their fertility due to chemo and radiation, so if ovarian tissue is frozen before treatment, there's still hope to have children later.
Right. Chemo and radiation can seriously damage ovarian function, so she proposed establishing a national fertility preservation center to promote this technology and benefit more people in need.
But it seems many people aren't aware of these technologies, and even doctors might not proactively inform patients.
Exactly. That's why she also proposed creating a medical notification standard so doctors clearly inform patients of the potential consequences before treatment and offer fertility preservation options.
That’s really important. It's too late to regret it once fertility is lost.
Yes, I hope these measures will be implemented soon and help more people who need them.
