Egg donation is permitted under Jewish law, as both women and men are encouraged to donate eggs. However, the risks of the egg donation procedures, such as those associated with hyper ovulation drugs, must be considered, as any risks to the health of the woman are forbidden.
In vitro fertilization is also permitted according to Jewish tradition when normal conception is not possible. The mechanical nature of IVF and similar techniques like GIFT and ZIFT are not issues under Jewish law, as these methods enable more people to have healthy children and increase birth rates in Israel.
Surrogacy is also approved under Jewish law, regardless of whether it is traditional surrogacy using the surrogate's eggs or gestational surrogacy

In egg donation, the Judaism laws are similar to artificial insemination and women and men both are encouraged to donate. However, we need to know the risk before attempting the egg donation. During some of egg donation procedure, the women must get hyper ovulated with certain types of drugs that might be non-suitable for her age or health. Any type of risk from ovum donation is forbidden in Jewish law even if it will help in the increase of birth rates.
In vitro-fertilization and Judaism
According to Rabbi: ( Elliot N. Dorff 2002). “”Also intrauterine fallopian transfer (GIFT)",zygote intrauterine fallopian transfer (ZIFT)". When couples cannot conceive a fetus through normal sexual intercourse even by stimulating the ovaries, or by artificial insemination as explained above. A couple might prefers to use their own gametes but by in vitro fertilization. According to the Jewish tradition it does not disapprove the use of artificial means to enable people to have a healthy child, because the mechanical nature of these techniques is not an issue. Again such a technique will enable couples to become mothers and fathers and therefore increase the healthy birth rates number in Israel.
Surrogate motherhood and Judaism
gestational surrogacy, in which both the egg and the sperm are those of the couple, and the surrogate mother’s womb is used to carry and deliver the baby. ovum-surrogacy the surrogate mother supplies her own gametes (genetic materials), her claim to the baby is greater than that of a gestational surrogate. Custody battles so far in American law, although few, have therefore given some consideration to the claim of who is the real mother in gestational surrogacy. Judaism laws are not helpful to differentiate who is the real mother but gives approval of surrogacy at all types because it increase the birth rates of Jewish people in their community.
