Fertility clinic visitor
An egg donor is a woman who provides eggs for use in assisted reproduction, typically for another woman who cannot produce viable eggs.
The donated eggs are fertilized through in vitro fertilization and implanted in the recipient.
Egg donors may be anonymous or known to the recipient, and are usually compensated for the medical procedures involved.
