Dying for a baby: the lethal risks of donating eggs

When Sarah Matthews heard Britain’s infertility industry watchdog suggesting last week that women be paid up to £3,000 a time to donate eggs, she could barely contain her anger. “I was left paralysed and lost four years from my life as a result of this treatment. I will never be the same again. I have been to hell and back because I wanted a child. I can’t believe they are suggesting young women take that sort of risk just for money.”
Matthews is one of many women who have been damaged — some fatally — by the drugs used to stimulate women’s ovaries to produce unnatural numbers of eggs.
