THE Ministry of Health supports the principle set by the Bioethics Advisory Committee (BAC) to compensate women who donate their eggs for research for their loss of time and earnings.

This is on top of reimbursement for expenses.

The ministry will be amending the Human Cloning and Other Prohibited Practices Act to put the donor compensation into effect, it said in a statement on Wednesday.
