title: [Women's opinion concerning oocyte donation for pre-embryonic studies].
abstract: For the benefit of pre-embryonal research, women requesting sterilization may be asked whether they are prepared to donate egg cells. Recently, a questionnaire was sent to 144 women who had given birth to their second or third child at the University Hospital Groningen, asking them how they felt about egg cell donation: 68 (47%) of the questionnaires was returned. Of the respondents 45 (66%) felt that a request for donation could be made to women who were admitted to hospital for sterilization. 22 (32%) of the respondents said they would be willing to donate an egg cell themselves. Of these women, 10 said they would be willing to use hormone preparations for this purpose.
