A Wairarapa woman who gifted her eggs to allow another couple to have children says she never expected or wanted a cent for her donation.
“I would have done it for nothing. I went into this thinking there would be no money at all. The fact that I was able to cover my petrol costs coming to appointments was just a bonus. I don’t think money should be a driver for being a donor," Heidi Holbrook said.
She talked about her experience helping others have a family as fertility specialists look at ways to tackle the growing list of women needing sperm or egg donations to allow them to conceive.
While a leading clinic says modest payments and imported sperm and eggs might help, a woman who was conceived using donated sperm has warned against changes which might "commercialise” children.
