As the economy continues to tumble towards depths not seen since in decades, some women are turning to a new source to help increase their income by donating their eggs.
Courtney Smith, 26, is a wine steward at a high-end restaurant. She explained that with the economy hurting her business, she volunteered to donate her eggs, which she did about two years ago when money was very tight.
“I was paid $7,000,” Smith said. “It felt good. I mean, it feels good to have money, and I paid off a student loan”.
Smith was chosen to donate her eggs after submitting information about herself. After she was picked, she took a round of hormones for two weeks to stimulate ovulation. Several weeks later, her eggs were taken out, and she was eventually compensated; in turn, a couple received her eggs…
The agency where Smith registered said they’ve seen the number of women wanting to donate double, and they think it’s wonderful to give someone a child if they can’t produce on their own.
Kathy Benardo, runs an egg donor agency, said, ‘I don’t want people to lose sight that it is a treatment for infertility. Infertility is a disease and this is one of the most effective treatments there are.”
Smith said she has no emotional connection with her eggs. Recently, she was matched with another couple, and may be paid $8,000. She’s just one of many women who may take advantage of such a program to raise money.
It’s her own property, right? Should society interfere with selling eggs?
So I am correct in assuming that all of you who think IVF is selfish and egotistical are fixed, yes? None of you plan on having children of your own because that’s just plain selfish. If yes, then I commend you for picking a position and holding to it. If not, then sit down and mind your own business. Having carried three children, in my own body, I can honestly understand one’s desired to feel that experience. Selfish? Absolutely, anything we chose for our own pleasure is, at some level, selfish.
To answer the question if black, brown or yellow womens eggs are wanted the answer is yes there is actually a high demand for them. I would suggest that you get all the info before you open your mouth. That’s the problem with people now days they think they know it all. Get the facts first…………
