A government committee which monitors scientific experiments involving real people has rejected a plan by Amsterdam´s AMC academic hospital to experiment with freezing the eggs of women who want to delay having children, the NRC reported on Thursday afternoon.

´The scientific basis is not properly supported´ and the AMC method is not based upon sufficient facts, the paper quoted commission spokesman Marcel Kenter as saying.
The AMC is to appeal against the decision.
Last year, the AMC said it planned to offer egg-freezing services to single women and allow them to become a mother up to the age of 45 – the cut-off age for ivf techniques.

MPs rejected the plan and In October, junior health minister Jet Bussemaker gave the AMC permission to carry out limited scientific research into freezing eggs.
