German term or phrase: Eizellspende
From an article on the stem cell research...

Kritisch sieht die XXX den Zellkerntransfer im humanen System, da viele Prozesse der frühen Entwicklung menschlicher Zellen noch nicht hinreichend geklärt seien.
Außerdem wäre dafür eine Eizellspende notwendig, die ebenfalls kritisch beurteilt wird.

neutral Stephen Sadie: this is human medicine, ovum is not precise enough IMHO

agree John Speese: I agree with ovum donation, it's clear from the context that human ova are meant, and can an animal really be a donor? Or would you say "source" if an animal were meant? After all, they don't have a choice.

  -> Very true
agree Cetacea: with Chetan and John.
1 hr
  -> Thank you
agree Bettina GJ: I don't think you need the "human" in front of "ovum "or "egg", as the previous sentence makes it clear that we're talking about humans.
