Human Egg Donor Files Antitrust Class Action
April 14, 2011
Three groups conspired to fix prices for human egg donors and “reap anti-competitive profits for themselves,” a donor says in a federal antitrust class action. The woman says that though egg donation is “far more painful and risky” than sperm donation, women are paid the same hourly rate as sperm donors, and “a price paid for donor services that does not account for those differences must be artificially low.”  (Courthouse News Service)
