Egg Donation & the Economy: Washington Times

The Washington Times has run an article, “Our bodies, our sales: No windfalls in plasma, egg donations” stating that while egg donation and surrogacy may provide financial payoffs, the criteria and long-term implications should be taken into consideration.  Kathy Benardo, director of the NAFG egg donor program, is quoted throughout this article on the economy’s impact on egg donation:

“I can get up to 100 applications a week.  Some don’t follow through when they see the screening they have to go through. Some are out of our age range [of 21 to 29 years old]. I even once got an application from a man. We also have a body-mass index qualification and an educational level qualification.”
