ABCNews' "World News Tonight" on Friday examined the emotional aspects of egg donation for female college students -- who are the "most desirable market" for fertility clinics because of their age and education -- and the opinions among former egg donors about whether the experience was positive or negative. According to Debora Spar -- a professor at Harvard Business School and author of the book, "The Baby Business: How Money, Science, and Politics Drive the Commerce of Conception" -- women do not think about or are not being counseled about the emotional aspects of donating genetic material. The segment includes comments from a woman who as a college student donated her eggs four times to make money and does not regret her decision, and a woman who as a college student donated her eggs to a family member and now feels she made the wrong choice (Marquez, "World News Tonight," ABCNews, 5/19).
The complete transcript is available online. Video of the segment is available online.
