Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Tuesday signed a bill designed to protect women who donate their eggs for use in stem cell research.
The measure, which was sponsored by state Sens. Deborah Ortiz (D-Sacramento) and George Runner (R-Lancaster), requires donors to provide oral and written consent before they start taking drugs to encourage their ovaries to produce eggs.
The bill also forbids compensation to donors beyond reimbursement for expenses.
