More on the business of buying and selling.
news.independent.co.uk/uk/health_medical/article1956558.eceEggdonor.com is one of a number of US websites advertising eggs for sale to infertile couples, including eggs from British women. Prices can reach up to $35,000 for donors with desirable physical characteristics, good medical histories and proven academic records. Prospective buyers are shown recent pictures of the donors, as well as images of them as babies and adolescents. They also analyse everything from their height and weight to details of their grandparents. Illegal in the UK, the US egg business is now worth an estimated $4.5bn.
