Turkey banned citizens from traveling abroad for egg or sperm donation, as did Israel, but Israel permits compensation to keep the women there.

There is no question fertility travel with its promise of children is an answer for older women, homosexual couples, infertile couples...anyone eager for a child, a family.

But if supermodels or athletes or brainy college graduates can be paid big bucks for their eggs, and the offspring sold for a million bucks or more, then the day of designer babies will have come. Or rather, it’s already here.

How great can a beach be?

Is this an ethical issue or a private transaction?
