The term "social freezing" is used to degrade the reason for freezing eggs to the level of a wish instead of a need. The main problem is that the distinction between "social" and "medical" freezing is very difficult to make and many applications do not fit nicely into one of the categories. The rejection of these applications also suffers from a number of inconsistencies. Given the difficulties in separating the two models, it is proposed that all applications, regardless of the reason, should be evaluated with the same criteria: efficiency, safety and justice.
“社会冷冻”这一术语被用来将冷冻卵子的理由贬低到愿望而非需求的层面。主要问题在于，“社会”冷冻和“医疗”冷冻之间的区分非常困难，而且许多情况并不容易明确归为其中某一类。对这些情况的拒绝也存在诸多不一致之处。鉴于区分这两种模式存在困难，建议所有情况，无论理由如何，都应以相同标准进行评估：效率、安全性和公正性。
