Summary
Egg donation is an assisted reproduction technique in which a woman donates her eggs to another who has difficulties conceiving. Before donation, the donor must undergo a series of medical tests to evaluate her health status, and during the process, her ovaries are stimulated to produce more eggs. Although egg donation is supposed to be an altruistic act, many women do it influenced by the economic compensation they receive at the end of the process, which has led some people to consider egg donation a form of commercialization of women's bodies. In addition, there are ethical concerns and risks to the donor's health, such as a lack of data on the long-term effects of the procedure and the side effects of hormonal treatment. Therefore, it is important to conduct a thorough evaluation of donors and provide adequate support to all parties involved in the process, to ensure that egg donation is carried out responsibly and ethically.
