Why does an infertile couple choose to use egg donors?
Other options such as additional fertility treatments, childless living, or a child adoption are often expensive and cumbersome or the couple is not interested in these options. Often times, the egg donor recipient is in early phases of menopause and cannot produce her own eggs. Ultimately, the couple choosing to undergo egg donation is able to select basic genetic traits, social, and religious backgrounds that they value. Ultimately, the woman receiving egg donation is able to conceive and bear her own child.
