摘要

The egg donation program provides an option for couples facing a lack of eggs, holding both medical and social significance. Currently, there are three main models for egg supply: commercial egg trading, altruistic egg donation, and egg sharing. In reality, the regulated egg supply falls significantly short of societal demands. The lucrative egg trading motivates underground organizations to persist in illicit buying and selling, which violates ethical principles and breaches legal boundaries. However, the content and enforcement of human-assisted reproduction regulations vary significantly across countries, with some struggling to keep pace with current developments. This article compares global egg donation policies, including age restrictions for donors and recipients, limitations on egg usage, anonymous versus open-identity donation, and egg donation models. It analyzes the factors hindering egg supply, aiming to provide guidance for countries in formulating and optimizing egg donation regulations.
