From CBC:

Egg donors can face complications, said Françoise Baylis, a professor and Canada Research Chair in bioethics and philosophy at Dalhousie University in Halifax.
 
"How many egg donors understand that there's a possibility you could be infertile as a result of your participation in this?" Baylis asked. "The possibility is small."

Baylis explained that in Canada, it's illegal to buy human eggs but it's not illegal to sell them.  
 
"Part of the reason for that difference in the legislation is that we didn't want to target or victimize yet again the women who might be participating in this transaction."
 
Under the regulations, women can also be reimbursed for expenses that have receipts, Baylis said.  
 
Baylis moderated a forum in Toronto on Thursday night that explored the ethical and legal consequences of the trade in human eggs, including the question of what are legitimate reimbursable expenses.
