...been frozen for more than two years. Unlike Bobbi McCaughey, this woman could not be helped by fertility drugs. She had suffered ovarian failure and could produce no eggs, no matter how much medication she took. Her best option would have been to accept a fresh egg from a donor. But she had agreed to this experimental procedure instead, on the condition that her privacy would be jealously guarded...
...olds yet," says Dr. Richard Paulson, head of reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the University of Southern California, where Keh was a patient, "but at present there's no evidence of an upper age limit." Inevitably, the prospect of using their own eggs, frozen years before, rather than a donor's genetically foreign eggs, will only increase the number of older women who want to give birth...

Was he winking at the legal line that is supposed to separate the "soft money" donated to parties from the "hard money" given to individuals? Could be. But since that line has been fudged by both parties, nobody...
