Abstract:
The meaning of the term 'egg' is defined by the particular 'universe of discourse' in use. The discourse within an in vitro fertilization clinic will differ from the discourse in the domestic world of patients. Thus, it is imperative that any decision to donate or share eggs takes note of all possible universes, both present and future.
