冻卵生娃 晚育福音

讲解:

Today's key word is Egg.

Egg 卵子

Here, an egg is a cell that is produced in the bodies of female animals and humans. If it is fertilized¹ by a sperm², a baby develops from it.

当一个卵子遇到一个精子，就诞生了一个小宝贝。

In the Chinese mainland, while sperm banks are legal, egg banks are not.

讨论:

很少分享私人生活的徐静蕾在近期一次采访中主动自曝，自己在39岁时到美国进行了冷冻卵子的手术。

她希望自己的经历能够为更多的女性提供一个参考，让大家看到更多选择的机会，未雨绸缪，把人生更牢固地把握在自己手中。

取出的卵子将在零下196度的低温液氮中的冬眠，并等待有一天被唤醒。
