How do you feel about egg donation?

I've been thinking about doing this for a few years. On one hand I would be helping a couple who could not conceive, but on the other hand, a part of me feels like doing this may be wrong? Is it?

I can't see any small issue with this idea! In fact it is a great idea as Egg is one food which contains most of nutrients like calcium etc which can help a body of any age. It gives strength to bones, muscles and body in whole. Helping others in any way is always a great thing to do! I wish you good luck for your venture! Start it soon!

Thanx for responding, but my question was about women donating their own eggs to help a couple have a baby.

Oops! How can I get that so wrong!? I am really sorry for whatever I misunderstood. But I really stand my words - It is indeed a very great boon to help others. That too couples who don't have their own kids know their pain in life! They always miss a baby too much every moment of their life! Having such a great heart to help those people is just like doing a "Best of All" help which blesses you. God really bless you and you are a great soul!! May God bless you. I really am impressed by what you are doing!

I recently saw a link for a surrogacy site on Craigslist, referencing egg donation. With thousands of dollars in debt from student loans, I also wondered: what if? Morally, it seems like a just thing to do. On the other hand, what about never knowing my child? Would they look like me? What if the child dated my son in the future? It's not an easy answer. I think donating is commendable...but I certainly don't think it's an easy choice. I asked my mom if she's ever considered it...she mentioned that the hormones/ medicines you take may also have considerable side effects. If you could get past your worries and handle the hormones, you would be the source of a miracle for the potential parents. But you would be giving the ultimate sacrifice, your possible child.

One thing which is very clear is that this type of donation is totally different from traditinal donation. Its also require courage. Because something in life cannot be achieve twice. Once you give your egg then it is finally gone fro you. So think twice before doing this.
