    Your question is really about two different issues. One is the donation of eggs, and the other is the selling of eggs. The idea of selling body parts in general bothers me. I have seen advertisments from people willing to pay more than $300,000 for eggs from the right ‘donor,’ i.e. blond and blue, tall, high IQ, etc. It’s as if the people are trying to create the ‘perfect’ child, and nothing less is good enough for them. I would never presume to tell another person how to spend their money, but I think about how much that same $300,000 could accomplish if put to some other use than to buy eggs – especially when there are other options for having a child. Is the selling of eggs any different than selling a kidney on eBay? On the other hand, I think that donation is perfectly OK. Eggs fall into a category similar to organ donation.
