Where’s the data?
No data, and a LOT of other inaccuracies in the article. The article says that egg donors are different than regular IVF patients because IVF patients are typically over the age of 35 and are already infertile anyways. Not true at all. Many, many, many IVF patients are younger than 35 and many women (of all ages) are doing IVF due to MALE factor infertility, not female infertility.

So there’s no actual data that donating eggs is harmful? How can that be? Egg donations have been happening for decades.
If that’s true then all the women who undergo IVF wound be equally at risk. More so, since many women go through multiple cycles.
Neither will be effectively researched because this is a billion dollar industry. But you can’t seriously think pumping your body full of hormones won’t have significant side effects.

Op: the agency we’re looking at actually does this. It’s called cofertility. I thought the same.
Does this make it more ethical?

Is it really that risky? And they’ll just donate to someone else if not me. Sorry this sounds and is so callous! (OP)

We’re thinking about it and the prospective donors seem mature and willing, but is it wrong?
