Human Eggs for Cash

More Women Donating in Troubled Times

— October 29, 2008 — Lifestyle
More and more women are now selling their eggs for cash in these troubling times. Fertility clinics in the US are reporting 30-40% surges in numbers of applicants. Donors can earn $5000-10,000 per donation. Whilst many women also do it to help infertile couples, it is the compensation which will pay bills that is driving many women to donate.

The procedure long and tedious and is not without risk. It is not like donating sperm. The women have to undergo psychological and physical exams and weeks of blood testing, and being given powerful hormones to stimulate egg production. Then after the actual harvesting itself, women need several days to recover from it.

The rise in women willing to donate their eggs in exchange for money is not exclusive to the US either but is a growing global trend.
Trend Themes
1. Increasing Egg Donations - The rising number of women willing to donate their eggs in exchange for money presents opportunities for the fertility industry to expand their donor programs and cater to the growing demand.
2. Financial Incentives Driving Egg Donations - The compensation offered for egg donations is a key driver for women, providing an opportunity for financial institutions to develop specialized financial services to support donors during the process.
3. Global Rise in Egg Donation Trend - The growing global trend of women selling their eggs for cash opens doors for international collaboration and innovative partnerships between fertility clinics and donor agencies worldwide.
Industry Implications
1. Fertility Clinics - Fertility clinics can leverage the surge in women willing to donate eggs to expand their donor programs and potentially develop more streamlined and efficient procedures.
2. Financial Services - Financial institutions have an opportunity to create specialized services tailored to support women who choose to donate their eggs, providing resources and financial guidance throughout the process.
3. International Donor Agencies - International donor agencies can capitalize on the global rise in the trend of egg donations, facilitating partnerships and collaborations with fertility clinics around the world to meet the increasing demand.
