The ethics of egg sharing 24ÌýJan 2008
Egg in fallopian tube
When one woman conceives and the other doesn’t.


Figures from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority show that hundreds of women who’ve offered to share some of their eggs in order to qualify for cut price fertility treatment have been left childless – while the women they donated their eggs to have given birth. So what are the consequences for a childless woman to discover that the eggs she gave away have resulted in a child for another couple – but a child that is genetically hers?

Jenni discusses the issues withÌýProf Brian Lieberman, Director of Manchester Fertility Services at the Bridgewater Hospital and Dr Kamal Ahuja, Managing Director of theÌý‘London Women's Clinic’, one of the country’s oldest fertility clinics, and the first to offer egg sharing.Ìý
