Egg Donation Health Education Campaign
In Collaboration with Generations Ahead
Selling eggs for fertility or research purposes is currently a hotly contested issue: Is it safe? Is it ethical? Should women be paid for it? How much should they be paid? Does it commodify and exploit young women? In all these debates, the voices of young women-the primary targets of recruitment ads-are conspicuously absent. HEI professor of Health Education, Laura Mamo, is working with Generations Ahead, to ensure that the concerns and perspectives of young women are central in any debates about egg donation. Together we are developing an education campaign and research survey to gather the voices and perspectives of today's young women about egg donation.
