Is this an ethical issue? Or not?

Mother Donates Eggs to Infertile Daughter is the headline

You can read through the whole story here.

Technically, this child may give birth to her half-sister or half-brother.

The child is only 7 years old right now, but has a genetic disorder (Turner's Syndrome) which usually means infertility. And the mom (mid-30's healthy and fertile) has frozen 20 eggs for her daughter to use down the road.

Does this fall into ethical/morality issues? Because I'm not really sure?! But it did strike me as odd... and I got that "hmm...something's fishy" feeling in my tummy when I read it.

Incest? Well probably not. I think that just deals with sexual relations (dictionary.com says so too).

Morally wrong? Well I don't see anything that really points to a moral dilemma.

Ethically wrong? Hmm...maybe. But why? It's just an egg and an infertile girl. BUT it's the same DNA as the daughter (well half--before mutations and all). Is the body going to reject the same DNA egg? Probably not, because she would produce her own half-DNA egg herself if she were able.

Gosh, maybe there isn't anything wrong with this.

Well, it is the first documented...so I guess we'll have to wait some years to see whatever happens to the little Boivin girl from Canada.
