How likely are my frozen eggs to be stolen?

PLL fan · 2016-02-17 07:39:17 UTC

Hey, guys!! This is serious stuff... Is there any Pretty Little Liars fan? Well, for those who aren't... Emily, one of the main characters, is donating her eggs for money. The Liars live in Pennsylvania, USA, in a fictitious town known as Rosewood (I know it already exists in more than one US state, but here it doesn't exist). Well, the thing is she undergoes surgery to remove her eggs and the following day her eggs are stolen by an anonymous person, or at least they are searching for him or her yet. Anyhow... even though I know this is a TV series and it's fiction, this question has crossed my mind because the chance is there, I mean... why not? Someone may wish to steal some eggs instead of rapping a girl for example and then start a human trafficking business... My imagination doesn't have limits, but how true is this? How safe are fertility clinics or egg banks? Thanks!
