This article about egg donation recently caught our eye.  Rather than looking from the point of view of an individual or couple, the piece tells the story from the egg donor‘s experience.

As Cathy Sidaway, a three-time egg donor, explains her desire to be one of the countless “Samaritans” for childless couples:

“I know about the heartache infertility causes… My cousin has endometriosis, and it’s been torturous for her. Another friend had seven miscarriages and was desperate for the family other people have quite easily…”

Thanks to the selflessness of women who choose to become egg donors like Sidaway (who receives zero remuneration for her good deeds according to the article), hundreds of babies will be born into loving families in the coming year.
