China Blackmarket “Eggs Are Hot Item”

Because the Ministry of Health bans the sales of eggs, some infertile couples started to get eggs through black markets. Experts say that it’s not just unethical but also harmful for college girls who are yet to have their own babies to sell eggs on the black market. <Photo: Xinhua/Li Wen>
