The Allure and Risks of Egg Donation

The narrative begins with a young girl in India who seeks to buy a smartphone, leading her to an egg donation scheme that unbeknownst to her, involves significant risks. The girl's desire for a phone blinds her to the implications of selling her eggs, a transaction framed as a way to earn money quickly. Many women in India face societal pressures to bear children, with egg donation emerging as a lucrative option for those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. However, the industry's growth, driven by demand and profit, has created an environment ripe for exploitation, particularly among vulnerable populations such as young girls.
