[Avodah] Yichus and IVF

[Cantor Wolberg]

"If a Jewish woman donates an egg for IVF to a non-Jewish couple, what  
is the
status of the child?"

I'm certainly no expert on this, but I think some poskim would rule  
																												that the egg alone does not a Jewish child  
make. Perhaps a physician 																											could shed light  
on whether this would fall under consanguine issues  
																												and personal status, etc. It also could be  
argued that 2 halachically 																										acceptable  
witnesses are needed at every stage even if there were  
																											poskim who ruled the child is Jewish.

K.T.
