In this paper I present two concerns about the flow of information between American fertility clinics and egg donors in the processes of advertisement and recruiting. First, I am concerned that donors may be unable, in principle, to offer valid consent. This is the case if a potential donor cannot be provided the data needed for her to make an informed decision. The data cannot be provided to potential donors because records are not kept of donor health issues after their donations are complete. The discrepancy between appropriate donor expectations, given the clinical context of egg donation, and the paucity of risk data available prevents donors from receiving sufficient risk information which, in turn, precludes valid donor consent. Second, I am concerned that donors are low-balled in the process of recruitment. This is the case if potential donors are not sufficiently informed up front about the risks of donating. Low-balling applies to egg donation if clinics withhold risk information until potential donors have made several steps toward becoming donors. I am not referring here to the unknown risk information related to the question of valid consent. Rather, I refer to the short-term physical risks of donation as well as those long-term risks that are understood. I put forward three factors that contribute to the low-balling of egg donors. I conclude by offering three recommendations that will aid in addressing these concerns. First, clinics should be required to report who donated and when, as well as which drugs were used at what dosages and intervals. Second, studies should be conducted regarding possible future health complications. This is the step that will make valid donor consent possible. Third, a disinterested third party should inform donors of the health risks involved before they get too far into the donation process.
