1. Maybe two. Eggs form from oocytes IIRC. You get an egg and a polar body once a month, sometimes you get one in each ovary maturing.
You have to admister drugs and wait a bit to get bunches of them to mature for harvesting. If she's dead, ain't gonna happen.
BTW, after a similar topic came up on the Swarm Mailing List, someone did some checking and it seems that contrary to popular myth, menopause does *not* mean the ovaries have run out of eggs (or oocytes if you want to get technical)
You won't have as many as you have sperm generating cells in a male, but the total *possible* number is more in the thousands than the hundreds.
2. See above. You'll have to harvest intact ovaries and keep them alive and functional. My guess is an hour. Allowing for the chill, maybe several hours.
Two factors. First, the cells are apt to go non functional if deprived of blood circulation (and hence of oxygen and waste removal).
Second, bacteria and even some of the body's defender cells will start attacking things if left alone.
