Girls from prestigious Beijing universities are becoming hot commodities for an underground fertility trade. Brokering agencies are sourcing eggs from young women for thousands of dollars despite laws against the practice.
北京著名大学女孩正成为地下生殖交易的热门商品。居间转卖的中介不顾法律禁止，从年轻女性身上获取数千元的卵子。

In this picture taken by Beijing News in October, a broker interviews a group of potential egg donors at a hotel lobby. A couple watches nearby to pick out whose egg they want for their would-be baby. The girls, like many others involved in this black market trade, are all college students. Their level of education and looks will determine for how much their eggs will sell.
新京报10月份拍摄的这张照片，一名中介在饭店大厅和一组可能的捐卵者们面谈。一对夫妇在附近观看，挑选他们想要成为的宝宝卵子提供者。这群女孩，和涉及黑市交易的许多其他女孩一样，都是大学生。他们的教育水平和容貌将决定他们的卵子可以卖多少钱。

[Fertility Broker]:
“We need to find out the egg donor’s details – their height, blood type, weight and age. We want girls who are at least five feet and three inches tall, between 20 to 26 years old.”
生殖交易经纪人说：“我们需要弄清楚捐卵者的详细资料 – 他们的身高、血型、体重和年龄。我们想要的女孩身高至少要有5尺3寸，20至26岁之间。”

A 22-year-old student from Tsinghua or Peking University – two of China’s top schools – can get more than 45 hundred dollars for her eggs, according to state-run Global Times. They don’t keep all the money though; the brokers take a big cut to pay for medical exams and as commission.
根据国营的环球时报，一个来自清华或北大¬（中国最好的其中两个学校）的22岁学生，卵子可卖4千5百元以上。不过他们没有拿到全部的钱；经纪人砍了大部分价钱做为体检和回扣的费用。

Donating eggs is a potential dangerous procedure. The donor must take hormone-boosting drugs before undergoing an invasive surgery. Beijing lawyer Liu Wei says these girls are not adequately warned.
捐卵是一种有潜在危险性的程序。捐卵者在进行侵入性手术前，必须先服用刺激荷尔蒙的药物。北京律师刘伟表示，这些女孩并没有被充分警告。

[Liu Wei, Beijing Lawyer]:
“I’m most worried about the damage this does to the girls’ bodies. Brokers involved in this illegal trade need to explain the potential dangers of the drugs to the girls, otherwise they should be held responsible for any harm done.”
北京律师刘伟说：“我最担心这对女孩身体的伤害。参与这种非法交易的经纪人必需向女孩们说明药物的潜在危险，否则就应该对此造成的任何伤害负责。”

Chinese authorities banned egg trading in 2006, but there are no effective enforcement measures. The Beijing News reports hundreds of companies are involved in egg trading. And because the practice is illegal, most offer no contractual protection for donors.
中国当局在2006年禁止卵子买卖，但缺乏有效的执法措施。新京报报导说，有数百家企业涉及卵子交易。因为这种做法是非法的，所以大多数并没有对捐助者提供合约上的保护。
