View source for Eggs for research

Women’s eggs have been regularly used for scientific research since at least the 1960’s, when in vitro fertilization and other assisted reproduction techniques were being developed.  The use of women’s eggs for research increased dramatically over the past decade as a consequence of the growing interest in embryonic stem cell research. 
Some countries prohibit the use of women’s eggs for research.  Others allow such use but prohibit payment for these eggs beyond reasonable compensation for expenses.  Other countries have no laws or policies addressing either the use of women’s eggs or the level of compensation that is permitted.
