Eggs

New York's Empire State Stem Cell Board is expected to vote on 6 -12-09 to use state money to pay women for their eggs.  These eggs would be used for research purposes.  This makes New York the only state to officially endorse a cash for egg scheme.

Egg donation is not like your usual chicken egg donation.  Perhaps New Yorker's should read Robin Cook's book on egg donation, Shock.  What many people don't know is that there are well-documented risks to the donor because of dangerous drugs necessary to stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs.  

The short term risks are the drugs are the surgical retrieval process.  The long term risks include cancer and future fertility problems.

A good public policy is supposed to protect society.  A policy like this endangers young women.  Frankenstein and his doctor would be proud.  Dr. Mengele, call your office.
