Since
egg donation is so well protected here, Florida has become a frequent
location for egg donation all over the world.
Florida
law permitting and outlining the procedure for egg
donation is described in Florida
Statute 742.14. This
law provides that women may donate their eggs for reasonable
compensation directly related to the donation. Once the eggs are
donated, the donor relinquishes all maternal rights and obligations
to the donated eggs and the resulting children. This statute also
equally applies to sperm and embryo donations. No Court procedures are required.
All
fees paid to the donor must be reasonable. Such recent
concerns involving “egg auctions” may not be deemed as reasonable
compensation here in Florida. By limiting the fees, the costs to
the intended couples are also limited.
Once
again, Florida is an excellent location for egg donation. Statutes protect
all parties involved while keeping expenses to a minimum.
