Women will get $450 to donate eggs for research

Women who donate their eggs for stem cell research would get a compensation of $490. This research would be a panacea for incurable diseases. Scientists are hopeful that it might be used to grow replacements for damaged tissue, such as new insulin-producing cells for diabetics or new nerve connections to restore movement after spinal injury. Some researchers have postulated certain dangers associated with the donating process. As the drugs may increase egg production that can lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, a potentially fatal condition in which the ovaries are unable to cope with the extra eggs released. However, women who are interested in donating eggs must not be discouraged but it must be made mandatory on the part of the authorities to disclose the risks involved in the process.
