egg donor
i'd like to know if it is wrong to donate your eggs/semen to couples who cannot copulate in exchange for money. There are constanly ads for this sort of thing and i'm broke. my boyfriend thinks it's horrible that i would want to give my not-yet-concieved child away, but if it provides me enough cash to stay in school, pay rent, and get to work on public transit I can't see how it is so wrong if i screen the people to give it to. i don't want to do the wrong thing to make money, i just naturally see it as helping people, nt selling a baby. please help?

Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Etiquette?
First of all, weather or not to donate/sell your genetic material is a very personal choice. You are the only person who can decide weather it is right or wrong for you. Inquire within.
I would highly recommend reaserching the egg harvesting process before deciding either way as it is more involved than sperm donation.
Enabling a couple who otherwise could not, to have a child is a wonderful and precious gift, but only if it feels right to you.
Good Luck!
ps - the word 'copulate' refers to the act of sexual intercourse. I think you mean 'conceive.'

As far as I'm concerned, it's not morally wrong at all, and it's definitely legal. Your boyfriend may feel differently, however it's your body and you can do with it what you please. Personally, I wouldn't think you're selling a baby at all -- it's something that would help everyone involved. I wouldn't suggest doing this yourself -- what I mean is, you need to do it through an agency whose business it is to handle these types of deals.
♥ Hope I helped.

I think if your wanting to do it for the right reasons IE: help a childless couple then its great but if your doing it for the money its horrible. Just think, you could have a son or daughter out there you could walk past on the street and not know it was them even.
But if your hearts in the right place then go for it.

Is it spiritually wrong to sell your eggs for money? That depends on your religion. I believe that the Catholic Church frowns on it (although I'm not a Catholic). Personally, I don't think it's anything like selling your baby; it's an EGG, and you lose one each month anyway.
However, you should be aware that donating an egg is much more complicated than donating sperm. You'll be treated with drugs to essentially put your ovaries into hyperdrive, including daily shots; the physical effects are supposed to be pretty uncomfortable. And retrieving the eggs takes minor surgery.
You can get a lot more information about the procedure here: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
That said...potentially, it's a lot of money. It's up to you to decide if the discomfort is worth the price. And you may find that it's hard to know that there is a child somewhere in the world, bearing half of your genes, that you will never know. I think that I would, but then, I'm a parent. :D
In any case, no one has any right to condemn your choice.

Personally my opinion is that its fine. i think that donating eggs to someone to help them out it fine and it also helps you to make money. just say to your bf that you really need money and if he doesnt like the idea then he needs to get the money for you. i hope i helped!

Hmm... I neveR thought of it as "selling a baby". That's an inteResting thought. I guess I don't see it that way, because it's NOT yet a human being. It's a cell....
And whetheR it is "wRong" oR not depends on who you ask -- it's meRely a matteR of peRsonal opinion. In *MY* opinion, I don't see anything wRong with it. I mean.. think about it... you'Re giving the MOST PRECIOUS gift that could EVER be given to COMPLETE STRANGERS who can NEVER get theiR MIRACLE otheRwise, ya know???? And in doing so, you'Re betteRing YOUR life fRom the cash benefits; nothing wRong with that at all. Hopefully this has been SOME kind of help! =D

I think it's a good idea for this situation. You aren't hurting anyone. Some people long for a child, but can't have one themselves. You would be making their lives into a miracle and if they are willing to treat the baby well you can know that you made a child's life worth it.Also, if you need the money why not? I say, it's not wrong and the people who are saying it is was probraly never in the situation of someone not being able to have a child of their own..so they don't know..

Well I know you may think the oppisite. But you basically are selling your child that you might have. I just dont think it;s right.

yes i think its a good idea!!My answer is just like everyone else said,and good luck to you!!

Its ok in my point of view. Before you make your choice you should go see all the people that are willing to get a public transmit. Look at how they treat each other when they are in public. If you feel comfortable giving a "life" to another person it is ok. You will be helping people who arent able to have a baby get a baby and in addition you will be getting a little cash. Overall, I think it is ok...as long as you make sure you donate your "baby" to a good family. Hope I helped!! Rate Me Please!!

I think it's ok. You are making somebody very happy by doing it. So go for it if you really need the money!!!

wow this answer is gonna be totally against my religion...i say go for it if you think its safe. you get an egg every month so one wont make a difference. its not a child...its a POTENTIAL child. you could make another couple very happy and instead of just leavin in there to die, your giving it some sort of chance at life. i think it is alright. <3

You're right, its okay. Its all matter of opinion.

no it really isnt wrong, you arent selling a baby your selling an egg. if he thinks its wrong tell him its about 8 million time more wrong for him to masturbate because thats how many more sperm hes flushing down the toilet. but heres the thing, its kind of dangerous. the hormones that make the eggs grow also make cancer cells grow. you really should do your research before you decide, but moraly theres nothing wrong. then again there are alot of kids in adoption agencies that i would rather see the couple adopt, but go ahead take advantage of the money, around where i live its about 30grand on average so if you think its worth the health risk go for it
