Abstract
During this time of tremendous changes in health care, anticipating the future of the most conventional and standard medical procedures is extremely challenging. Against this backdrop, attempting to speculate on the future of a relatively new and complex procedure such as egg donation is particularly daunting. Therefore, I take this opportunity for speculation knowing that my conjecture will depend as much or more on new developments in health law and the evolutionary opinion of what is ethical as it does on the social and medical needs and desires of patients.
