Egg Donation

Have you seen advertisements in the newspaper by people looking for egg donors?   These ads are found in many campus newspapers and other publications, some offering to pay up to to $100,000. 

Although egg donation may look like an easy way to get some cash and help an infertile woman, it also carries risks.  Many reputable websites only review the risks for women who have infertility problems. If you are considering egg donation and need more information, we recommend you review the following information from Columbia University's GoAskAlice website, which is geared to college students and reviewed by physicians.
