This is in Florida..
This 22 year old girl was verbally told by the agency how much she would be compensated, that all things associated with the donation are paid for by the intended parents, she will be listed as not anonymous and that they provide an attorney at no cost to her. They then started her with the appointments for screenings and on the hormone injections. The retrieval date is Tuesday, two days from now and she just received the contract yesterday evening. I was looking it over with her and it is nothing of what she was told. I.e. any cost of complications medically are her expense, the attorney provided is limited to explaining the contract, she is to remain anonymous, any litigation is a shared expense etc.
She is basically suckered into this agreement, which I believe is strategic given the lack of time she has before that retrieval day. Not to mention, should she decline and push off the egg retrieval until the contract is agreeable, she greatly increases her risk of hyperstimulation syndrome... Which according to that contract is her expense/burden... Is this legal?? This can't be right?!
