What do you think of being a egg donor? I heard it makes a lot of money and it helps people out that can't have babies, but would it cause problems for you if you wanted to have children down the road.

It's unlikely that egg donation would affect your fertility, but it is possible. There's a small risk you could develop ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which in extreme cases could rupture an ovary. There's an even smaller risk that the large doses of hormones involved could increase your chances of developing a female cancer, which of course would drastically affect your chances of having children. But the likelihood is, you would wind up both richer and happier in the knowledge that your actions had helped others. You have to weigh up the pros and the cons and come to your own decision.
