German term or phrase: Eizellspende
From an article on the stem cell research...

Kritisch sieht die XXX den Zellkerntransfer im humanen System, da viele Prozesse der frühen Entwicklung menschlicher Zellen noch nicht hinreichend geklärt seien.
Außerdem wäre dafür eine Eizellspende notwendig, die ebenfalls kritisch beurteilt wird.

neutral  Kim Metzger: Ovum donation is precise enough in this context because the fact that it's about humans has already been mentioned.

agree  John Speese: I agree with ovum donation, it's clear from the context that human ova are meant, and can an animal really be a donor? Or would you say "source" if an animal were meant? After all, they don't have a choice.

  -> Very true
agree  Cetacea: with Chetan and John.

  -> Thank you
agree  Bettina Grieser Johns: I don't think you need the "human" in front of "ovum "or "egg", as the previous sentence makes it clear that we're talking about humans.
