How do I donate eggs to stem cell research?
Category: Stem cell research
I would like to donate my eggs to stem cell research because I can’t donate eggs to fertility clinics. Where can I do this? I looked on Google but couldn’t find anything.

You cant. Its embryos that are donated, not eggs. And embryos used in embryonic stem cell research can only be embryos that were originally created for use in IVF, but were left over and unused.
You CAN sign up for the bone marrow registry, or donate cord blood if you are preg. And in that way, you would be contributing to adult stem cell research. If you are planning on going through IVF you can donate the left over embryos.
You could probably donate your eggs privately to someone looking to go through IVF who needs donor eggs.
