The current issue of Nature has several articles about the ethics of egg donation for stem-cell research:
- Ethicists and biologists ponder the price of eggs. "Erika Check investigates whether paying donors would increase supply."
- Health effects of egg donation may take decades to emerage. "Helen Pearson asks what is known about the long-term health risks faced by donors."
- Fair payment or undue inducement (Commentary)? "Women who donate their eggs for stem-cell research should be compensated in the same way as other healthy research volunteers, argues Insoo Hyun."
- Safeguards for donors (Editorial). "Clashing perspectives on the ethics of the donation of human eggs for research purposes are likely to complicate international collaboration — whether stem-cell researchers like it or not."
