Know the value of your eggs
When women opt to donate her
eggs, compensation can be a major factor to consider. The fee paid by the
agency is for time, effort and inconvenience sustained by an egg donor. These
donors play a vital role in the life of sterile couple. However, an egg bequest
procedure demands a lot of time, responsibilities and personal sacrifice from
the donors. Therefore, it is appropriate to compensate a contributor for the
troublesomeness bared during the tenure. Women who wish to donate her ovum
should understand how the egg donation remuneration procedure works and what
are the legal and ethical thoughts associated with it. According to the Journal
of Fertility and Sterility published in 2007, normally, egg donor compensation will
be approximately USD 4,217.
However, the compensation paid to
the contributors may vary by geographic location and in some cases the contributors
can expect high remuneration if they meet unusual traits of the intended
parents. In the United States, there is no such law to specify the compensation
paid for donors. Therefore, the amount paid by the intended parents or clinics
may cover the time and inconvenience sustained by a contributor. However, the
ASRM (American Society for Reproductive Medicine) suggests that, if a total
amount paid to a contributor exceeds USD 5,000 requires justification and
amount above USD 10,000 is not appropriate. So, egg donors should carefully review the
advertisements if publicists mention above USD 10,000 as
remuneration.
Even if the ASRM specified amount
at $10,000, intended parents who are looking for a particular quality and a
person from specific ethnic background may pay up to $60,000 to donors.
