9 women register as donors with Japan's 1st egg bank

TOKYO, May 13, Kyodo
Nine women have registered with Japan's first "ovum bank" to donate their eggs to help infertile women, paving the way for fertility treatment to begin within the year at the earliest, a private group involved in the matter said Monday.

The Oocyte Donation Network, which offers support for women suffering from ovarian function problems such as premature menopause, has also listed three women as prospective recipients.

The group, which is made up of doctors specializing in fertility treatment and patients' representatives, began soliciting on Jan. 15 donors who are willing to donate their eggs for free.
