One of Illinois Review's most Googled posts "Hey ladies, wanna sell your eggs?" was posted in March 2006. A year ago, USA Today wrote about university women selling their eggs for $25,000:
Beautiful and smart college age women are being lured by university paper ads into donating their eggs for up to $25,000, USA Today writes.
This phenomenon is exploding with the need for fertilized egss to be used in embryonic stem cell research.
From the story:
The pressure on college students — the most coveted donors — is likely to grow. A sharp increase in embryonic stem-cell research programs across the USA in the past year created a new market for more donors as scientists use eggs to find medical cures.
