Women should freeze egg cells without a medical reason. This is called 'Social Egg Freezing'. It was forbidden in Austria before. The highest court changed this law. Austria needs a new law by March 2027.
Minister Claudia Bauer wants to work fast. She suggests an age limit. Women may use the egg cells until 50. There is no age limit for freezing them. Bauer speaks to experts in Berlin about this.
The minister wants to help couples. Many couples in Austria cannot have children. She also wants better protection for mothers. Women after a lost baby get special leave. The time depends on the weeks of pregnancy.
