Egg donation is a process where we can offer a woman who has lost
fertility, meaning she's gone through menopause, whether she's naturally
reached the age of menopause, or whether she's undergone chemotherapy for
cancer. We can take eggs from another woman. Fertilize them in the
laboratory, and place the embryos back into the patient's uterus.
So this will give women who think that they otherwise had no chance of the
pregnancy experience, the possibility of having that pregnancy experience,
the possibility of having a child that's genetically linked to their
husband.
The egg donor is screened for all sorts of medical and health history and
psychological history. So you know that you are getting an egg from a
healthy woman. High success rates, and then you get to experience the
pregnancy. You can make sure that, basically you make sure your child has
the best start to life. It is a great option for a high percentage of
patients, who otherwise thought they had no options.
