WASHINGTON, D.C. July 28, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) -- A new documentary, "Eggsploitation," just released by The Center for Bioethics and Culture Network (CBCN) reveals shocking information about the infertility industry.
The documentary exposes what the makers of the film label the "deceptive advertising, large monetary incentives and appeals to altruism" that are used by the infertility industry to entice college women to engage in human egg donation, a practice that the CBCN claims exploits them and puts them at "considerable" health risk.
While the documentary is available now, its official debut will be August 9 at The Little Theatre in Rochester, N.Y.
Dr. Janice Shaw Crouse, Director and Senior Fellow of Concerned Women for America’s (CWA) Beverly LaHaye Institute, applauded CBCN for exposing the infertility industry’s blatant exploitation of women. "Today’s college coeds are told that the procedure is safe, when the reality is decidedly unsafe. No young woman should be used in procedures that jeopardize her own fertility – indeed her own life – in order to line the pockets of those who promote the infertility industry’s human egg trade," she said.
The Eggsploitation documentary spotlights three women who went through the egg donation process - including high doses of fertility drugs and egg retrieval surgery. The young women’s stories, according to CBCN, are a "wake-up call" for those who are unaware of the complications that can result from the "highly unregulated, multi-billion-dollar" infertility industry.
