Fifteen women from the United Kingdom have agreed to donate their eggs for human-cloning experiments in exchange for discounted fertility treatments.
The North-East England Stem Cell Institute is offering women in vitro fertilization treatments at a 50 percent discount if they agree to donate half of the eggs produced during the treatment.
Josephine Quintaville, founder of Comment on Reproductive Ethics, said the egg-sharing scheme takes advantage of vulnerable women who desperately want a baby.
"I feel extremely sorry for the women who have been inveigled into this deal,” she told the U.K.’s Northern Echo.
