Government, Women's Health Specialists To Decide If Women Can Store Eggs For More Years

New government plans are underway for women to be able to store their frozen eggs for up to 55 years if doctors and women's health specialists raise no objections to the issue.

A spokesman for the Department of Health says that they expect this regulation would only apply to a very small number of women.
