An illegal trade in female ova is booming in Beijing, targeting girl students from famous universities, who can sell their eggs at prices ranging from several to tens of thousands of yuan,the Beijing News reported Monday.
Usually an egg is sold for 5,000 yuan (US$786), but the price can rise to as high as 30,000 yuan if the sellers are students at Peking University and Tsinghua University, considered two of the best in China, the report said.
Under Chinese law, it is illegal to buy human eggs or receive them for free. Only women who have extra eggs while undergoing vitro fertilization can donate eggs to others. But this is extremely rare and unlikely to happen, said Xue Qing, a doctor at the Maternity and Children's Hospital of Peking University.
However, the ban has spurred an underground market where infertile couples are happy to pay 50,000 to 100,000 yuan to agencies to find women willing to sell their eggs. Full story...
