Truth in Egg Donation Advertising
Articles regarding the possible danger of egg donation are nothing new. However, what is slightly less common and even more worthwhile are articles like the one in the Daily Princetonian which calls for higher governmental regulation of the assisted reproduction field.
The author calls for a national egg donation registry that would be able to keep the information of all egg donors within the United States and help to identify any long term risks that might otherwise not be seen. Additionally, this government regulated national registry could enable practitioners in the field of assisted reproductive technologies to see what which treatments are most effective and which are most ineffective.
Yet, as those of us in the field of ART are aware…governmental regulation is slow coming if ever, which is why those of us in the field of ART need to continue to build a national egg donation database of our own that is self regulated until the governmental regulation finally catches up. What are your thoughts?
