2. The Price of Eggs
Mar 8, 2000

In the first of five new programmes, the controversial documentary strand investigates the practice of paying women to donate their eggs. Although illegal in Britain, it is big business in California. Egg-donor agencies help couples find the perfect donor, who can pick up $3,000-$50,000. This programme follows a couple, who have had one child using another woman's eggs, as they try to pay for another, while their original donor meets the child who is, genetically speaking, hers.
