Has anyone out there ever thought or ever donated there eggs? I seen a news cast that said donation of eggs and sperm is in demaned. They said that for egg donations a women could make $10,000.00 and can donate ever 3 months. And men could donate every couple of weeks to make about $200.00 a month. Would you ever concider to earn extra money in donating? As for me, I gave it some thought but I am no old.LOL Most want wemen in there 20's. But, I would have to say, if I had of known about this when I was in my 20's at least I would have been able to go to collage and not have the bill on my head that I do....So yes, I think if I was the right age, I would have concidered donating eggs.

I wouldn't donate my eggs. I think I would have a hard time giving up a baby that was part of me. On the other hand, I have seriously considered being a surrogate mother. It's a good way to make extra money, but that isn't the main reason I would like to do it. I think it would be a very rewarding experience, and would love to try it at least once :)

I think donating eggs would be easyer then being a surogate mother. Once you feel that new little live move inside you, there is a bond that begains. and giving birth and handing that little baby over...I could never do that.

I thought about this and I think that I could do it. Not for $10,000 though. It would be much more. I am putting part of me out there. It sounds selfish, but I am sure once I thought about them taking my eggs and had they gotten pregnant yet, and how many more are out there--I would probably need to see a psychiatrist. I am done bearing children now and have had my tubes burned and tied, but I found out that if I ever wanted to get pregnant again, I would have to do invitro. The catch to that is, most women get 10 taken out, fertilized and then put into the womb. I am very fertile and my doctor said that she could only do two at a time because my chances of getting pregnant are so great. After 4 kids, I am definatly done!

Hey. Thats a good disscussion!
Im a woman of 21 and I have to say I really dont think I could do it. I couldnt stand the thought of my child being out there and me never knowning. Its the same with surrogacy, I could never do it. The only was I could be a surrogate is if it was another womans egg, but even then I think I would only be able to do it for someone close to me like my sister. I really admire these woman that can give up there eggs and be a surrogate though. I think at the end of the day, I must be too materinal to do it!!!!
