What is Egg donation?
'''Egg donation''' is when a woman gives some of her eggs ([[ovum|ova]]). Sometimes it is done to help that woman or another woman have a baby. Sometimes it is for research. Sometimes the eggs are frozen for later. The first child born from egg donation was in 1983 in [[Australia]]. The first one in the [[United States]] was born February 3, 1984. A woman who gives her ova is called an egg donor. Egg donors are recruited, screened, and give consent before participating in the process.<ref>{{cite web|title=Becoming an Egg Donor|publisher=New York Department of Health|url=http://www.health.ny.gov/publications/1127|accessdate=June 6, 2014}}</ref> ==References== <references/> [[Category:Female reproductive system]] {{science-stub}}
