Egg Donor Pros and Cons
Egg donation makes it possible for women who want to become mothers, but are incapable of producing enough healthy eggs, to receive donated eggs from healthy female donors. Many women make donating eggs a lucrative business, something that raises ethical concerns. Others, however, would just want to help a female friend or a female relative to get pregnant; therefore, would not mind donating their eggs even without any compensation involved. No matter what their motivations, they should weigh the pros and cons before they make a commitment to becoming egg donors.
