What do the laws say about egg selling by country?

By Rebeca Reus BSc, MSc (embryologist).
Last Update: 10/18/2016

As stated earlier, egg donation is not about selling eggs, but about giving other the chance to create a family. The sale of human eggs is forbidden internationally, and donors are generally entitled to reimbursement of the reasonable expenses incurred.

In Denmark, por example, egg banks and fertility clinics are offering women all-inclusive vacations for the price of donating their eggs. The Danish law, however, prohibits the sale of eggs.
