Default Fertility Firm Targets Cambridge University Girls

£750 for your eggs: Fertility firm targets Cambridge as critics blast company for exploiting
'financially vulnerable' students


Yes, we were tempted, say girl targets of fertility touts. Cambridge University Students Jo Hall, 21, and Phoebe Pluckrose-Oliver, 22,
were given leaflets by Altrui, a company looking for egg donors.


The targeting of elite students raises concerns about attempts to create ‘superbabies’.

Thousands of Cambridge students have been targeted by a firm offering up to £750 to egg donors. Leaflets were stuck in their university
pigeonholes, making an emotional plea to help a couple unable to have children.

At the beginning of the summer term two weeks ago, Cambridge students found the company’s leaflets stuffed in their pigeonholes, asking:
‘If you are compassionate, kind, healthy and between 18 and 35 years old, could you help us? We can imagine no greater gift than the chance
to love a child.’

The development appears to be a result of an increase in the amount of ‘compensation’ that can be given to donors, and may confirm fears
of a rise in ‘egg brokers’ profiting from dealing in human lives.
