Legislation to allow women in
California to be paid for their eggs for scientific research is on
its way to Gov. Jerry Brown<\/b> following final legislative approval last
week.<\/div>
<\/div>
Sponsors of the bill, a national
fertility industry organization, expect the governor later this month
to sign the measure, which would go into effect next year.<\/div>
<\/div>
The measure, AB 926<\/b><\/a> by Assemblywoman
Susan Bonilla<\/b>, D-Concord, would repeal a ban on payments to women who
provide eggs for scientific research. However, the measure would not
affect the ban on payments to egg providers in research funded by the
$3 billion California stem cell agency. That ban is covered by a
separate legal provision. Stem cell researchers around the country have complained that they they cannot get eggs without payment.<\/div>
<\/div>
Women in California can be paid for
providing eggs for reproductive purposes. According to a legislative analysis,<\/a> payments can run as high as $50,000 for women with special
characteristics but average around $9,000 for each session, which can
generate more than one egg.<\/div>
<\/div>
The sponsor of the legislation is the
American Society for Reproductive Medicine<\/b> of Alabama, whose members
represent a wide swath of the $5 billion-a-year fertility business.
The measure would open new business avenues for the industry. <\/a><\/div>
<\/div>
Bonilla argues that the measure allows women to be treated on the same footing<\/a> as men who provide sperm for
research and would encourage more research into reproductive health issues.<\/div>
<\/div>
Opponents argue that the safety of the
egg production procedures has not been well-established including
their long-term impact. They also argue that allowing payment would
lead to exploitation of poor and minority women.<\/div>
<\/div>
The bill received its final
legislative approval on July 1 when the Senate passed it on a 24-9
vote.<\/div>
