Selling your eggs to the highest bidder.... right or wrong?

is this not mercenary?

don't get me wrong, i am (obviously) not opposed to egg donation, in fact that is the only way we can afford ivf. however, if you excuse the fact that it was in the DM - i was searching mn on there, I am shocked that young women see their fertility as a commodity.

who (in these cases) is being taken advantage of? the donor who is facing financial hardship? the recipient who is desperate for a child and willing to do anything to concieve?

I mean if the HFEA allow payment for donation (as is proposed)where do they draw the line? should you be able to sell a kidney? why not increase donations by abolishing the lack of anonymity clause?

Again, best of luck. It must be so hard.
