The egg donation business is apparently booming across college campuses throughout the nation. Fertility clinics are posting ads all over, from online advertisements on Craigslist.com to newspaper ads on university publications. And they do not want just anyone responding; applicants are generally required to be under the age of 30, attractive, and intelligent (many have to meet a SAT score minimum of 1300).
So what is the incentive for young, attractive women to donate their eggs (ovum)? The skyrocketing money compensation fertility clinics are offering. Donated eggs have been used in the reproductive industry for years, but recent technological advances have created a booming global marketplace for egg donation and triggered a high demand for quality eggs. The high compensation rates – which can be as much as $10,000 for one donation cycle – are a way to entice egg donors to meet that demand.
