I'm not sure if this should go in this forum...but the moderators can always move it.
So I was reading the campus newspaper the other day before class (complete piece of shit) and I saw a full page ad.
Wanted:
5'8"-5'10" Blonde female
High SAT scores (college entrance exams)
Blue or green eyes
To donate your eggs to an infertile couple
Compensation: $100,000!!!!!!!!
Would anyone do this?
You have to take daily injections of hormones, which are supposed to be painful for several months and can't drink or do drugs...but $100,000! There might be other restrictions as well...I'm not sure.

i read the story of an egg donar a few years ago in a magazine and (i dont know if the law has changed) but women apparently are only meant to get payed the same amount as men are - which doesnt really amount to anything as all men need is a dirty mag and a cup.
its a quick way to make money but its selling genetics - what if this stunningly beautiful and intellegent woman who donates her eggs has a history of cancer or cystic fibrosis in her family? would they be screened for any possible inherited disease?
i wouldnt risk it <IMG alt="image" SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG alt="image" SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG alt="image" SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0">
But 100,000 to me seems like so much money...it would wipe out all my loan debt and leave me with tons.
Of course, I think if you were buying eggs you would probably screen for genetic diseases in the donor.
