It is well known that there is a shortage of human ova for in vitro fertilization (IVF) purposes, but little attention has been paid to the way in which the demand for ova in stem cell technologies is likely to exacerbate that shortfall and create a trade in human eggs. 1, record 1, English, - trade%20in%20human%20eggs

It should be noted that despite their interchangeability in common usage ("egg" being used more frequently than "ovum"), scientifically speaking, these terms are not synonyms. 2, record 1, English, - trade%20in%20human%20eggs

On estime qu'il faudrait environ 13 ovules pour former un blastocyte normal, source de cellules ES [souches embryonnaires], ce qui laisse entrevoir le développement d'un véritable commerce d'ovules, et donc d'une marchandisation de l'humain. 1, record 1, French, - commerce%20d%27ovules
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Bien que «ovocyte» et «ovule» ne se situent pas au même stade de développement, ces deux termes sont couramment utilisés indifféremment. 3, record 1, French, - commerce%20d%27ovules

Para muchos, las donaciones de óvulos y la fecundación in vitro son la única posibilidad de cumplir con su sueño de tener hijos. Las estadísticas indican que el comercio de óvulos creció en tanto hasta ser un negocio de 40 millones de dólares anuales, "un bazar global", según informó el diario Usa Today. 1, record 1, Spanish, - comercio%20de%20%C3%B3vulos
