Egg donation is the process by which a woman donates eggs to be freeze for later use by herself or to enable another woman conceive as part of an assisted reproduction treatment or for biomedical research. In vitro fertilization (IVF) Technology is being employed in the assisted reproduction. The development of IVF technology greatly improved the procedures used in egg donation.
The first child born from egg donation was reported in Australia in 1983. Prior to the success of egg donation, thousands of infertile women had adoption as the only path to parenthood. Many marriages suffered breakup, due to the inability to procreate.
Another wonderful news that came with egg donation procedures success is that women who are at high risk for passing on genetic disorders can get genetically certified eggs for reproduction.
