Clinics pay Ruby.

She takes a cart between $50 to $100 and then passes the rest on.

She says her recruits are mostly poor.

This is Prabha Khodaswaran, a professor of law at King's College in London.

She's filed what's called an intervention in India's Supreme Court to demand women get legally compensated for the work of producing their eggs.

So she says, why not the women who enable the industry to exist?

Khodaswaran acknowledges a lively debate in feminist circles.

Some argue all commercial egg donation and surrogacy should be banned because of how it commodifies women, how it commercializes the creation of a baby.

H estimates she's harvested her eggs at least 30 times since she began.

If each round of eggs produced one baby, she'd have some 30 biological children.

H is sure, though, she's made more babies than that.

She says, if each time they've harvested 20 eggs from my body, you can assume at least 10 kids have popped out.

Shweta Desai, who was reporting this story with me, tells her, You are like a super mom.

There's little research on the impacts for women who retrieve their eggs repeatedly.

Critics say that reflects how little value is given to women who provide their biomaterial once their eggs have been removed.

But one known impact is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

Mild cases can cause bloating.
