A Few Good Eggs

October 20, 2005

The Pacific Fertility Center in San Francisco is looking for “healthy women in their 20s and early 30s, in good physical and emotional health” who are “willing to give themselves hormone injections.” The pan is to open a “Bay Area satellite clinic of the new South Korea-based World Stem Cell Foundation,” and they are going to need more than a few good eggs to do it.

Interestingly, “it has not yet been decided whether the women will be paid for their eggs and effort” for this project. However, according to Pacific Fertility’s website, women who become egg donors for infertile couples are “very well compensated at $5,500.”
