If egg donors weren’t compensated, the whole business of assisted reproductive technology would be a shadow of where it is today. “No one would [donate eggs] for free,” one donor told a writer with MSNBC. “Maybe for your sister, but not for a stranger.”

its great for both people i think donating eggs is a good thing
Egg donation should be compensated well since the process is more complicated when compared to sperm donation involving hormonal stimulation, IVF and egg retrieval procedure. Needless to say there are possibilities of some complications.
Therefore, financial compensation is an effective motivational tool to encourage egg donations.

Egg donation process consists of two phases. The first phase is ovarian hyper stimulation. In this the donor receives hormonal drugs to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs. The second phase is egg retrieval. In this mature eggs are removed from the donor through a surgical procedure called transvaginal ultrasound aspiration. The procedure of egg donation and the following operations take 60 hours on the whole. Therefore, I think giving compensation to the egg donor is a perfect option. Since this will promote egg donation by more people in the community.
