(3 Aug 2009) HEADLINE: N.Y. taxes to pay donors for stem cell studies
CAPTION: Hanqi Miao said she wanted to donate her eggs to help infertile couples reproduce, but she acknowledged the money is good, too: She said she'll be paid about $5,000. (Aug. 3)
[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE]
NB. THIS IS A VOICEOVER TRANSCRIPT, NOT A FULL SHOT LIST.
This is the rough cut I have done with the stem cell piece:
(nats)
HANQI MIAO IS WAITING....TO SEE IF AN INFERTILE COUPLE IS INTERESTED IN BUYING HER EGG....
(HANQI MIAO)
ALTHOUGH THE THOUGHT OF HELPING A COUPLE HAVE A CHILD IS HER MAIN MOTIVATION FOR BEING AN EGG DONOR....SHE'LL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT, THE MONEY IS DEFINITELY A FACTOR
(HANQI MIAO) 07:13 first I was motivated for personal reasons but at the same time you are getting money for it so it's a plus so who doesn't want money in your hand...
THE GOING RATE TO BE AN EGG DONOR? AROUND FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS....NOW NEW YORK STATE PLANS TO PAY WOMEN THAT AMOUNT TO DONATE THEIR EGGS FOR STEM CELL RESEARCH
(RICHARD DAINES) 51:20 new york is at the forefront this is just another step
STATE HEALTH COMMISSIONER RICHARD DAINES IS ON THE EMPIRE STATE STEM CELL BOARD...THEY RECENTLY VOTED TO ALLOW TAX PAYER MONEY TO COMPENSATE WOMEN FOR GIVING THEIR EGGS FOR RESEARCH...NEW YORK IS THE FIRST STATE TO DO SO
(RICHARD DAINES) 36:15 one of the things to really move this science forward are human oocytes or human eggs and although there have been some specimens available from women who donate for reproductive reasons thats really not suitable
NOT SUITABLE BECAUSE EGGS FOR REPRODUCTION ARE TAKEN FROM HEALTHY WOMEN....BUT RESEARCHERS NEED EGGS FROM WOMEN WITH A PARTICULAR GENETIC DISEASE IN ORDER TO STUDY IT
(RICHARD DAINES) 43:40 if a stem cell researcher is interested in somethign related to sickle cell disease which we know is highly genetic they might then say we are looking for a women with this gene and we will compensate them for the eggs
AND MOST DOCTORS AGREE UNLESS YOU COMPENSATE WOMEN FOR THE MONTHS OF DISCOMFORT TO EXTRACT EGGS, THEY'RE UNLIKELY TO SIGN UP FOR THE PROCESS......BUT CRITICS LIKE FATHER MICHAEL BERG SAY, THIS PLAN CAN POTENTIALLY EXPLOIT CASH STRAPPED WOMEN
(FATHER THOMAS BERG) 39:36 this puts women in a position to consider doing something they would not usually do except for the money
THERE'S ALSO THE ISSUE OF IF THIS WILL LEAD TO EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH, WHICH SOME CONSIDER DESTROYING A LIFE....THE STEM CELL BOARD SAYS NO BUT FATHER BERG SAYS IT'S A SLIPPERY SLOPE
(FATHER THOMAS BERG) 52:34 when we talk about paying women for their eggs donating their eggs for research this is part and parcel of a larger project that we have to understand this is aimed at a bigger project of using embryonic human life as raw material for research
(BONNY GHOSH) "As for taxpayers about 70% of new yorkers say they're for embryonic stem cell research....and they don't mind taxpayer money going towards it. Now, if that means compensating women thousands of dollars each to donate their eggs, most scientists say why not?"
(DR. KENNETH PRAGER/BIOETHICIST COLUMBIA MEDICAL CENTER) "once our society has deemed it ethical to pay women for their eggs for fertility it seems to me difficult to say they should not be allowed similar amounts of money to donate their eggs for similar amounts of money"
HANQUI MIAO SAYS SHE UNDERSTANDS WHY SOME WOMEN WOULD CHOOSE TO DONATE THEIR EGGS FOR RESEARCH.....BUT IT'S JUST NOT FOR HER
(HANQI MIAO) 13:55 11:03 "if you were approached what would you say?
