It depends on which country. In the US, most egg donor programs I have seen will emphasize that you are not being paid for your eggs, but that you are being compensated for your time and your effort (which are not insignificant). If you attempted to donate, but did not produce any eggs after using fertility drugs, you would probably still receive some compensation.

Depends on the jurisdiction.
Currently, it IS illegal in Canada - also illegal for men to be paid to donate sperm, as of about 2 years ago. Surprisingly, there is now a huge shortage of donor sperm ....

Nope, and I think anyone who is able to emotionally do it is an angel. Contact a local fertility specialist in your area.
And it is not dangerous! It is no different than a woman doing an invitro cycle. The only difference is the eggs are harvested but not transferred back after fertilization.

I don't think so. If a man can donate sperm why can't a women donate eggs?

it's your egg. Therefore I think it's rightful that you get paid.

No, it isn't. But it is considered dangerous so not many people will do it.
