Golden Eggs

By on August 7th, 2009 • Life, Reproduction

Would you pay $8,000 for a couple of eggs?  How about if they resulted in a healthy baby instead of the most amazing breakfast on earth?

A female is born with about 1-2 million oocytes (potential egg cells), but only about 400 mature eggs are released during a woman's reproductive life. These microscopic eggs may not look like much, but to reproductively challenged couples and fertility clinics around the world, they may as well be made of gold.
