Australian women can sell ... eggs

According to a new Australian bill, women in the country can earn money by selling . their eggs for stem cell research projects.

Under current law, women are not entitled to receive money when donating eggs for medical research projects, but according to Professor Loane Skene of the University of Melbourne, this law needs to be amended to get more eggs for Stem cell research work.

Professor Skene, Vice President of Lockhart Council, proposed that the Federal government extend the 2006 Stem Cell law, in which women donating eggs for research will be compensated in part in cash.

According to him, due to the high risk of losing their jobs, women need more income and universities also need more eggs to carry out stem cell research projects. This is a win-win job.

The fact that women sell eggs is not new in the world. Many other countries also require buying eggs for medical research projects.

On a foreign website, women can sell their eggs to infertile women in the US for between $ 1,500 and $ 3,000. But Australian women have to go to the US to negotiate. In Australia, infertile women need eggs to give birth to their babies even if they cannot afford to pay for medical expenses.

Last year, New York became the first US state to allow scientists to pay women when they donated eggs for stem cell research. However, this job is causing controversy.

Professor Skene added that egg donation should be treated differently than other types of organ donation. However, women are only allowed to donate eggs once in their lives and after having children .
