[DIYbio] Re: Extract egg cells from "monthly" ? Possible? Ethical?

No human eggs are very tiny indeed. and the ones that do not get fertilized are absorbed back into the body they do not enter the menstral blood.
Do you mind if I ask, what you want to do with human oocytes?

I just came of the idea, that a women loses an egg cell around once a month.
Does anyone have a clue whether it is possible to kind of extract the cell and then have a look on it under the microscope?
I heared those cells are pretty big, so you could even see them with youre bare eye.

Given their size, couldn't you just let the red liquid through a filter, then the big egg cell stays above?

And, one second thought, are those cells still alive when out of body? I mean, they survive 5 days travelling to their destination, sitting there few days, and then are expelled. There won't be mechanism to induce apoptosis I think, because it dies anyway when out of body?
