Abstract：
This article examines the framing of choice, risk and pronatalism in Singapore\'s debate on elective egg freezing, beginning from the government\'s review of the ban in 2012 and ending in 2023 when the procedure was legalised. It demonstrates the possibility of reconciling liberal discourses on reproductive choice with technocritical discourses on egg freezing as a risky and oppressive pronatalist technology. While medical complications, false hope and commercial abuse were longstanding concerns in Singapore, these risks were perceived as reconcilable with choice through an age limit, mandatory counselling and comparative frames from the national and international regulatory context. Additionally, low fertility rates and efforts to advance gender equality enabled the reconciliation of choice and pronatalism as policy justifications, while the construction of female candidates\' heteronormative reproductive desire framed pronatalism in women-centric ways. Such reconciliation was facilitated by Singapore\'s strong interventionist culture which normalises paternalism and pronatalism. Within this context and through actors\' articulation of policy ideas, elective egg freezing was reinterpreted as a technology with manageable risks, and a hope technology for women and nation. A moral Singapore State which permits elective egg freezing while supporting the interests of women and society was thus co-produced by politicians, journalists and doctors.
摘要：
本文研究了选择的框架，新加坡关于选修卵子冷冻的辩论中的风险和倾向，从2012年政府对禁令的审查开始，到2023年程序合法化时结束。它证明了将关于生殖选择的自由话语与关于卵子冷冻的技术批评话语调和为一种危险且压迫性的发音技术的可能性。虽然医疗并发症，虚假的希望和商业滥用是新加坡长期以来的担忧，通过年龄限制，这些风险被认为与选择相协调，来自国家和国际监管背景的强制性咨询和比较框架。此外,低生育率和促进性别平等的努力使选择和平等成为政策理由，而女性候选人的“异性恋生殖欲望”的建构以女性为中心的方式构成了发音主义。新加坡强大的干预主义文化促进了这种和解，这种文化使家长制和专一主义正常化。在这种情况下，通过参与者表达政策理念，选择性卵子冷冻被重新解释为一种风险可控的技术，以及对妇女和国家的希望技术。因此，政治家共同创造了一个道德的新加坡国家，该国家允许选择性冷冻卵子，同时支持妇女和社会的利益，记者和医生。
