Should Women Be Paid For Egg Donations?

A new report thinks so. The status quo:

In Britain, where direct payment for unfertilized eggs are prohibited, women are allowed to receive discounts on in vitro fertilization treatments in exchange for making some of their eggs available for treatment or research, a procedure referred to as "egg sharing." In the United States, egg donation rules vary by state, with some drawing distinctions between eggs used in research and in treatment. The U.S. National Academy of Sciences recently issued guidelines permitting only reimbursement to egg donors for expenses such as travel and lost wages.
