Baby Conceived From Frozen Donor Eggs Born on New Year's Eve

New Ways of Making Babies: The Case of Egg Donation (Medical Ethics Series)

On the New Year's eve, the first baby ever conceived with a frozen donor egg from Cryo Eggs International, a commercial egg bank, was born. As opposed to using fresh donor egg cells, frozen ova offer the following advantages:

Convenience: With frozen eggslinks, women wishing to conceive no longer have to wait for a donor's availability and personal circumstances when to start treatment.

Geographical and Financial Feasibility. Frozen cells can easily be transported overnight, expanding the number of possible donor candidates.

Safety. As required by FDA, retrieved and frozen eggs are quarantined for 6 (six) months, and the donor must undergo rescreening for infectious diseases including HIV, before they are made available to the public.

Efficiency. Eggs are already available even before the recipient starts the cycle. The receipients are therefore independent on the donor's passing the screening, or successful viable egg retrieval.

Refer to Cryo Eggs International's website for more information on the donors, fees (each egg costs $2,500), and the procedure for ordering.
