[quote=Anonymous]As the PP said, I don't think donors LIE about their medical history so much as they might just not know that much about their medical histories. I didn't use an egg donor, I used a sperm donor, but I think the general concerns are the same; these are young adults, and I know that I didn't know, in my 20s, that my father would go on to have hypertension and a stent, and my mother would have breast cancer. I also didn't know then, and still don't know now, how my grandfathers died. And if I had been planning on donating eggs, I probably would not have gone to my parents and said "Hey, how did Grandpa die? No reason I'm asking, just curious!" I probably would have just put down "natural causes." So there may be donors who are deliberately hiding details, but I think its just as just as likely that they don't know them.It is a calculated risk to be sure, but reproduction between any two people is a bit of a crap shoot.
