egg banks

Egg banks are facilities that store donated, frozen eggs (oocytes) for future use, primarily for women undergoing fertility treatments. Donors give their eggs, which are carefully screened, then are retrieved and cryopreserved through advanced freezing methods. Women seeking fertility assistance can select eggs from these banks instead of relying on their own eggs, enhancing their chances of conception. Egg banks provide a legal, ethical, and flexible solution, increasing access to high-quality eggs while maintaining the safety and health of donors. This approach supports family-building options for women facing infertility or age-related egg decline.
