[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What makes you think they need to pay more to get egg donors? They don't. [/quote] Yes they do. Shady Grove upped its offer from $5,000 to $7,000 last year (maybe even earlier) and agencies are offering premiums for egg donors of ethnicities from which donor eggs are hard to get. In Europe where payment is lower and anonymity is not allowed, it is very hard to get donor eggs and donor sperm. Many, many Europeans travel for their treatment. I am grateful that it was readily available here in the U.S., albeit expensive. Without the cap, I think the costs will go up. Clinics will do what they can to keep it affordable enough to keep patients. I have no objection to the donors getting more of what I pay, and the clinic just having lower profits, but it could go the other way, where clinics insist on maintaining their level of profit and less people can afford donor egg.[/quote]
