在印度,H等来自Chennai的34岁的妇女不顾法律禁止有偿捐赠,在贫穷和需求不断增长的驱动下,非法将蛋出售给IVF。

他们每周期收入270至800美元——远远高于通常工资——接受荷尔蒙治疗和手术以收获20至30个鸡蛋。

尽管2021年《辅助生殖技术法》将捐助限制在每名妇女一次,要求事先生育,并限制年龄,但这些规则减少了合法供应,同时由于推迟生育,需求增加。
Though the 2021 Assisted Reproductive Technology Act limits donations to one time per woman, requires prior motherhood, and restricts age, these rules have reduced legal supply while demand grows due to delayed childbearing.
专家们说,法律助长了一个繁荣的黑市,使得弱势妇女得不到保护,没有中央登记或监督,而且往往不知道健康风险。
Experts say the law has fueled a thriving black market, leaving vulnerable women unprotected, with no central registry or oversight, and often unaware of health risks.
