[Photo/VCG] China will intensify research to improve laws and regulations to ensure the right of unmarried women to give birth, the top health authority said in response to appeals to give single women access to assisted reproductive technologies. The law does not ban unmarried women from giving birth, and children born out of wedlock have the same rights as those born of married couples, the National Health Commission said in a statement provided to China Daily. However, it is against tradition that single women give birth, and the lawful rights of children should also be considered in making related regulations, the commission said. Although there have been public appeals to allow single women to use assisted reproductive technology, in reality few single women have done so, it said. In June, Li Jun, a lawyer at the Dehehantong Law Firm in Shanghai, sent an application to the commission by express mail requesting it to revise regulations that forbid single women to use assisted reproductive technology. Li said on Tuesday she had yet to receive a reply from the commission. The regulation is outdated and contradicts demands from some single women, she said. Application of assisted reproductive technology should not discriminate against certain groups based on their sexual orientation or marriage status, Li said. The government has the responsibility to give women the freedom to choose birth methods and guarantee their rights of birth. At least women should not be deprived of rights to use assisted reproductive technologies. One poll seems to indicate that the public agrees. According to an online survey conducted by China Daily in which about 50,000 netizens participated by Tuesday, 99.4 percent said they are in favor of single women having the right to have a child through assisted reproductive technology. Li said she knows some single women who want to use the technology to have children because they do not have a boyfriend or because they are homosexual, but were unable to do so due to policy restrictions. Abolishing the restriction is also in line with China's relaxation of family planning policy to encourage every couple to have two children to ease concerns about a dwindling labor force, she said. We hope to see a clear timetable for change, and that the public can participate in the discussions for the change, she said. Zhan Yingying, a Beijing resident who will turn 30 in September, said she is not married and is busy with work, so for the present she will not have a baby. But I want to have a baby later, she said. I want to have my eggs frozen for future use, but could not find a hospital that would perform the procedure. Zhan said she has many friends, including some who have broken up with their boyfriends or do not want to get married again, who share similar ideas, and some have been to Jilin province, where the provincial health authority allows single women to access assisted reproductive technologies, but they were also denied. No hospital will agree to freeze eggs for them, she said. They fear risks as the national regulation forbids it. Only a national regulation will ensure single women have access to assisted reproductive technologies in China, she said. Wang Aiming, a professor of assisted reproductive medicine at Navy General Hospital in Beijing, said the demand for assisted reproductive technology, including from single women, has been increasing in recent years. The hospital has never done assisted reproductive procedures, such as freezing eggs, despite inquires, she said. Ethical issues must be considered before changing the regulation, she said, adding that she does not see a change to allow single women to have access to assisted reproductive procedures anytime soon. Allowing it may be unfair to children born of single parents, he said. In addition, it will have a negative effect on the whole of Chinese society, because it goes against traditions of family. Li, the lawyer, said children born to a single parent can also have the same rights as those born to two parents. There should be no difference as long as society is friendly to such groups, and the parent devotes enough attention in child raising and education. custom silicone medical alert bracelets

Front-line technicians are encouraging workers to seek out technological innovations they think can greatly benefit the country, society and public."To gain new technologies, we should pay a lot of attention to our work and to study constantly," said Wang Jun, an advanced technician at China Baowu Steel Group's hot rolling plant in Shanghai. He said only in this way can workers advance in companies.He made the remark at a news conference held by the State Council Information Office on Friday.On Monday, Chinese President Xi Jinping said ahead of International Workers' Day that working hard is the most honorable, noble, great and beautiful virtue. That remark was made in a letter to national model workers studying at China University of Labor Relations.In his letter, Xi also spoke highly of the contributions that the model workers have made to the nation's development.Wang started working in 1985."I often found many problems that couldn't be solved even under the guidance of foreign experts," he said. "So, I worked during the day and studied at Tongji University's evening college at night for eight entire years. As time went by, I could gradually understand the secrets of product design and deal with various problems."Since 2005, he has concentrated on developing a new technique to reduce the time required for adopting leading foreign technologies. Thanks to the technique, he won second place in the National Science and Technology Progress Awards in 2016.Hu Ping, 22, a textile and costume design student at Beijing Industry and Trade Technicians College, won China's first gold medal at the 44th World Skills Competition's fashionable dress skill program in 2017."The program included tests of design, draping and fabrication, and the competition's experts and coaches demanded strict work specifications," she said, adding that she had trained for more than 16 hours a day.Those outstanding technicians also focused on technological innovation. "Technological innovation is our company's lifeblood, which can raise our profits and improve people's living standards," Wang said.Wang thought there had been a 20-year gap between China and developed countries in steel production in the last century, but through their innovation the country's largest steel company no longer mostly relies on foreign production designs and modes of operation."Even a small innovation can bring great profits or save costs," he said. "When our hot rolling mill went into operation in 1989, we developed a small production technique in a production line that can save 1 yuan (16 cents) when producing 1 metric ton of steel.In 2012, the production line put out 100 million tons of steel, which means the technique can save 100 million yuan, he said. "That's what we created for our own better life by our hands."
