This is a highly controversial subject in my family. Every time I bring it up, it starts an argument. But would you donate your eggs if you really needed the money?

Sorry I meant donated your human eggs for a couple who wants to have a baby. It's nice to hear people who donate money to the poor.

I haven't talked about it with my family but I had seriously considered it. I'm about to start college and it seems to be a good way to earn money. They pay a few thousand dollars for those who are willing to donate. It seems great that I could help another family and it doesn't do me much harm either but then there is the knowing I will have a child out there that I can never care for or watch grow up.

My sister told me she wouldn't want a niece or a nephew out there that she didn't know about. I've read that you have to take hormones to sync your menstrual cycle with the woman you are giving the egg to. I feel like that would be stressful on your body and your mind.

yes,i would.i wish i'd known about it earlier,they say i'm too old now. only thing is,you have to follow a certain set of rules before harvest,like some kind of shots you're supposed to have (i guess for ovulation). as long as you keep some for yourself,i don't see a problem.there's no way you're going to use all of them in your lifetime anyway.

Donation means you don´t receive money. What you are asking is whether we would SELL them. There are a lot of born children who need good families. There´s no need to set up a sperm business. I´m old fashioned: I don´t aprove of things that can be done in a more human way.

OH YES! I have no problems donating my eggs. I believe strongly in adoption too, and would like to explore that as a first option, but the feeling of being pregent had to be the best feeling in the world. I MEAN the absolute BEST FEELING in world, and if I could help some on else experience that then sign me up. And I have thought about selling my eggs before, however I was turned down from doing it because I have a thyroid condition.

Yes. I have no problems with my eggs being donated, hell I'd do it for free if a family needed them (only assuming they can't adopt either. START ADOPTING PEOPLE).

I agree, there are way too many children in need of parents.
