Date: Tuesday, May 1, 2012. 4:15 PM.
Location: Bechtel International Center Assembly Room 584 Capistrano Way Stanford
Join us for a screening and panel discussion of the documentary film, Eggsploitation, which blows the whistle on the deceptive practices of the infertility industry to exploit young women for their eggs. Profiling the harrowing testimonies of three egg donors, Eggsploitation reveals the shocking truths, hidden dangers and severe health risks associated with egg donation. The infertility industry today is a booming, multi-billion-dollar-per-year business; yet no regulation exists to protect vulnerable women from coercive marketing ploys and large monetary incentives to get their eggs. Panelists include Jennifer Lahl, executive producer, director, and writer of Eggsploitation, and Judy Norsigian, executive director of Our Bodies Ourselves. This event is free and open to all.
