What do you think of this article? IVF clinic holding a raffle for donated eggs?

It reminds me of pre-civil war United States of America. How disgusting. This should not be allowed to happen.

Money can't buy you love...but it will buy you everything else.

I don't have a problem with egg donors or sperm donors. I wanted to be a single mother so I had my children using a sperm donor. I also donated eggs in college, not for profit but to a good friend. She asked, because we had a lot in common and even looked physically similar so the child would look like her. I've never regretted donating to her and have met her children. I don't think of them as my children and have no maternal feelings for them like I do my own children. I simply provided some DNA to help my friend be a mom.

However, I find the idea of a raffle to give a way an egg to be tasteless and tacky.

It is really horrible - read the article yesterday - there are strict rules on IVF treatment in the UK which the NHS stick to but clinics don't seem to worry about ethics and will 'bend the rules' as there are so many desperate couples wanting children. I do know what it is like to have to deal with infertility with my husband but we wouldn't go to any lengths to have a baby,

my pal goes via the distinctive equal factor she has donated in go back for ivf its now not a nasty factor in case you feel bout it there are tons of couples available in the market who can't have youngsters for some thing rationale by means of donating it improves their probabilities of conceiving. The simplest downfall is now that your main points are stored on dossier and in case your egg is positive it manner after eighteen years you might have a knock to your door revealing a youngster which got here out of your egg its a significant limitation which must now not be taken calmly it demands severe pondering

Kinda gross. I recall reading a story involving a raffle for free vasectomies, the catholic church stepped in on that one.

"Eggs are donated by American women who are between 19 and 32 years of age, who are paid up to $11,000 if they are well educated and good looking. Smokers and women who are overweight are not admitted into the program, the Sunday Times reported." Yep, that says it all. Women are like breeding dogs now.Perhaps those who win can get a good look at the prize horse (mom)'s teeth to make sure.

Is this not a little close to the whole master race thing...

Oh. My. God.

This is truly awful. I don't even know what to say. Horrific. I guess I'm having trouble understanding how this didn't make the hair on anyone's neck stand up (I'm referring to the people orchestrating this horror).

It is a fine line our society walks...A fine line, indeed...

Tasteless.

Wow. Just wow. Baby profiling? WTF?

Totally unethical. Yeah it does kind of bring back thoughts of another kind of human auction that we put an end to two hundred years ago.....
