Abstract：
In a landmark Fatwa, Saudi Arabia\'s highest religious authority-The Council of Senior Scholars-declared the Islamic permissibility of oocyte cryopreservation. The fatwa sanctioned the retrieval, preservation, and future use of oocytes, ovarian tissue, and whole ovaries from cancer patients receiving gonadotoxic interventions. Although momentous, the fatwa\'s specification of cancer patients effectively rendered this technology unavailable to others to whom it may be similarly beneficial, including patients with other medical conditions or patients seeking elective cryopreservation. This article argues in favor of widening reproductive choices through expanded access to oocyte cryopreservation in Saudi Arabia-regardless of the underlying cause of infertility-on three grounds: the technology\'s compliance with Islamic law, as a matter of fairness in medical practice, and as a means to support the well-being and flourishing of Saudi women within the context of a national societal and economic transformation strategy closely linked to their success.
摘要：
在一个地标性的Fatwa,沙特阿拉伯的最高宗教权威——高级学者理事会——宣布伊斯兰允许冷冻保存卵母细胞。fatwa批准了取回，保存,和未来卵母细胞的使用，卵巢组织,和接受性腺毒性干预的癌症患者的整个卵巢。虽然意义重大,fatwa对癌症患者的规范有效地使这项技术无法提供给其他可能同样有益的人，包括患有其他疾病的患者或寻求选择性冷冻保存的患者。本文主张通过扩大沙特阿拉伯的卵母细胞冷冻保存范围来扩大生殖选择-无论不育的根本原因是什么-基于三个理由：该技术符合伊斯兰法律，为了医疗实践中的公平，在与沙特妇女的成功密切相关的国家社会和经济转型战略的背景下，支持她们的福祉和繁荣。
