A man can make up to $1000 a month for 1½ to two years; and though the numbers haven’t been nailed down, a woman can make an average of $4,217 per egg donation (Aho).

Then the sperms nucleus merges with the egg and combines genetic material, which makes the baby the perfect mix between the mother and father.

Twinning occurs in one of two ways: either the mother releases two eggs instead of the usual egg, or only one egg divides after fertilization. If a woman releases the two eggs that are fertilized by separate sperm, the woman will have identical twins. In this case, a woman produces only a single egg, which does not fully separate after fertilization. The embryo that
