In what is a controversial move, the New York State will now pay women who give their eggs for stem cell research. The use of public money for such research efforts was welcomed among some sections, but bioethicists and opponents of this research were outraged.
The Empire State Stem Cell Board has decided to give up to $10,000 for women for donating eggs. “What we’re doing is making it in some ways more reasonable for women who are interested in donating for research to do so,” Dr. Robert Klitzman, director of the new master’s degree program in bioethics at Columbia University told The New York Times.
Egg Donation
The term ‘Egg Donation’ is commonly used to refer to the contribution of her eggs by a woman to another, who is incapable of producing her own.

Rev. Thomas Berg, director of the Westchester Institute for Ethics and the Human Person, a Roman Catholic research group criticized the move, “You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand that this is going to create a kind of undue inducement, a scenario in which a person can feel unduly compelled to take advantage of a situation,” he said.

Invitro Fertilisation
During IVF fertilization takes place invitro, in an incubated petri dish. The resulting embryo is transferred back to the uterus on Day 3 at the 6-8 cell stage. Sometimes the embryo transfer in done at the blastocyst stage on Day 5. The embryo is drawn into a specialized catheter along with a small amount of culture medium and is transferred to the uterus.
