5) egg donation:
This method is controversial because the baby carries the genetic father only: the egg from a younger donor is unknown and fertilized with the father's sperm in the laboratory. The embryo is then transferred to the womb. It is necessary that the donor is 'similar' to his mother: to have blood type and RH factor equal to it. This technique is used in women over 40 years. There is still no accurate data to success. The cost on average is $ 7,000.
