The UK's fertility watchdog has called for a fresh debate on reversing the ban on paying egg and sperm donors.
Head of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, Professor Lisa Jardine, says proper payment may persuade more donors to come forward.
More and more British couples are going abroad for infertility treatment since the ban on payments was introduced.
The number of women using donated eggs and sperm fell by 25% and 30% respectively between 2004 and 2006.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
