    If there are any Jezzies interested I happen to have some man eggs I would be willing to donate. Normally I wouldn't donate them, but times are hard, and I trust you all to raise them well.

    I actually looked into this. Turns out if ANYONE in your immediate family takes antidepressants, you're ineligible - at least at the clinic I was looking at.


    So as if having depression wasn't bad enough, now I'm sad too :(

    Ha! My cubemate donates her eggs as often as they let her. It's a pretty decent amount of money, but I don't think it would be something I could do. I'm pretty sure I'd fail the psych evaluation, too.

    @Francie Nolan: @Perpetual Ingenue: She does it a couple times a year. She's done it about five or six times. She has kids of her own. She works with me in non-profit; I understand needing the money. She's decided one more time. Last time she got the check she paid off credit cards and bought her kids a wii.

    In their defense, those guys were actually seahorses, and they were just a little confused about the way their reproduction works. Abstinence-only eduction hurts seahorses, too.

    Like many commenters, the eugenics freaks me out. At college, there were plenty of ads looking for Ivy League genes. I'm certain if some of these couples met me, they would think I was a nice or successful person. But because I was a few inches too short, they would never think of buying my eggs (nevermind that I am nearsighted and not blonde).

    I'm so torn about an issue like this. On the one hand, I truly value every individual's right to privacy and to make her own decisions, especially when it comes to what to do with her body. I respect and support women's rights to donate and receive eggs, fertility treatments, etc.


    On the other hand, it pisses me off something fierce that there are so very many unwanted children in the world who already exist, so why on earth can't these women/couples take all their time, effort, and money out of contributing to the population problem and instead put it where it's truly needed?


    The judgmentz - I haz them, but I doez not want them =(

    I got an ad yesterday on facebook for 100k for my eggs. Holy moly. I assumed it was bogus.


    In terms of the more reasonable payments of 1700, that would not be worth it to me to chance life being like an episode of "House" and the half-sibs falling in love.

    Is the process of donating similar to the experience of those with something like PCOS going through fertility treatment? Cause if it is I might have to just go straight for the adoption option...

    I would almost consider doing this for the money, but I don't know if anyone would want my eggs considering the history of cancer and general mental craziness in my family.


    And those unanswered questions would bug the shit out of me too.
