From the perspective of traditional technical research,frozen egg technology is regarded as suspending women's reproductive clock to buy time for women to find partners,complete their studies,improve career development,and prevent possible iatrogenic injuries(receiving chemotherapy,emergency medical needs).It has brought liberation to women and is also a basic right that women can choose,so that women can work on equal terms with men and promote the realization of equality between men and women.The author also analyzes that frozen egg technology also has a series of problems at the technical,ethical,social and legal levels from a traditional perspective,but if we examine it from a feminist perspective,we will find that the patriarchal society is controlled by technology Female fertility has strengthened male domination;frozen egg technology has not changed women's disadvantaged position in the workplace,but has allowed women to make concessions;frozen egg technology has ignored women's autonomy in infertility;it has strengthened traditional biological family concepts,Does not encourage women to care more about their children;it may increase the existing gap in gender,race,and class.Therefore,the discussion of frozen egg technology from a traditional perspective is a study that ignores the female voice from the perspective of male power,whether it is a consensus or an opposition.In the value form theory of technology,the intrinsic value of frozen egg technology does belong to the scope of science,and it can solve certain fertility problems for women.However,in the practice of patriarchal society,the intrinsic value is full of well-meaning frozen eggs under the control of real value Technology has become a tool for male rulers to deepen the oppression of women step by step.Moreover,the invention and implementation of the same type of science and technology will have different effects on the same people in different social cultures.The key is to see in which society this technology is produced and in whose hands.Therefore,only when we fully understand ourselves and change the existing socialstructure to truly achieve equality between men and women can technology be said to bring freedom and liberation to women.
