Beijing's black market fertility trade fraught(2)
On August 3, 2011, someone nicknamed Momo posted a demand on Renren.com, a Chinese social networking site popular with university students, looking for a female student at Peking University or Tsinghua University who was willing to donate her egg for 30,000 yuan ($4,638).However, when the Beijing News reporter contacted Momo, ローン タイプhe also stipulated that the client was looking for a student taller than 1.63 meters, with double eyelids and a pointed chin.
Momo further revealed that the reward would in fact be much less than 30,000 yuan, and that there would be no signed contract due to the illegality of the transaction. The selected donor would only get about 5,000 yuan ($773) for her egg, レンタルサーバーafter they had deducted costs for the medical examination and commission, he added.
Injecti** to ensure success
According to an article in The Economist, egg donati** involve a long and complicated series of procedures. Before they even arrive at a clinic to make their donati**, women must inject themselves for three weeks with medication. After that, they are called in to give blood samples and undergo vaginal ultrasound tests. Then, TOEICon the day of donation, they undergo an uncomfortable extraction procedure which involves a very long needle and punctured ovaries.
In China's black market, student donors are asked to take good care of themselves before taking medical examinati**, and must contact egg brokers immediately when their period arrives. Once, a girl did not pass her medical examination, causing an enraged broker to threaten her reputation at the university if she did not take better care of herself.
A sound physical condition is very important before egg retrieval, and girls must also take injecti** for eight days to boost fertility. After theyおせち are well prepared, the girls receive an operation to retrieve the eggs. In the best cases, it takes a day to recover; in the worst, they end up in the hospital.
A law with no teeth
Xue Qing, associate chief physician at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the First Hospital of Peking University, warned that illegal egg retrieval involves many hormone drugs to restrain ovarian activity. Together with the injecti** that boost fertility, they simulate the ovaries and tend to trigger complicati** – and sometimes even lead to serious health problems.
Experts say that without a contract, university students cannot be protected and are putting their health at risk. Once there is medical negligence, it is difficult for them to stand up for their rights.
Some doctors, lawyers and would-be parents are asking why there is a ban on the black market egg trade if there is no intent to enforce it. They say the ** should c**ider either establishing a national ovum bank, or prohibit the trade with intensified efforts.
