Bad Economy Means More Eager Egg Donors
One commodity in these trying economic times that is still in high demand is fertility. And more women than ever before are hoping to cash in on their eggs, with Good Morning America reporting a 30 to 40 percent increase in egg donor applicants.
Experts warn that infertile couples should be particularly careful in choosing an egg donor agency, since such a huge increase in women looking to donate means a higher risk of lower donor standards. To women in hard economic times, $5,000 may sound so tempting that it’s easy to forget that egg donation comes with a heavy psychological and moral responsibility.
