What are the basic requirements for becoming an egg donor?
An egg donor must be between the ages of 21 and 32. She must be in good health, both mentally and physically, with a weight that is appropriate for her height, and with a family history free of genetic and/or psychological illness. Upon deciding to participate in the donation process, she must have clear resolve and motivation. It must be at least six months since a donor has had any piercings or tattoos. Donors may be married, although this may make them inappropriate for recipients who are more observant of Jewish law. Donors do not have to be U.S. citizens.
