[Egg-donation in Denmark].
Egg-donation is an efficient treatment of female infertility caused by ovarian failure. Although the use of volunteer donors has been allowed in Denmark since 1 January 2007, there is a shortage of oocyte donors, which is in contrast to the increasing demand from couples in need of donor eggs. In this paper we discuss possibilities to enhance the recruitment of volunteer donors. In order to increase the number of egg-donations, the Danish legislation should be changed to allow the use of crossed anonymous donation.
