Would you ever donate your eggs?

How do you feel about egg donations? Would you ever consider it?


Im on the fence with this one. I would love to help someone have a child but at the same time i would hate knowing that there maybe a child with my DNA out there that may never know me. Or i knowing the child.

  • I don't think I could. I was going to say that I would do it for someone close to me, but I think I wouldn't be able to mind my own business if they made decisions I didn't fully support. I would have a hard time not thinking of the baby as "my child".

  • Not for myself. I couldn't deal with the knowledge that I might have a child out there somewhere that I didn't know about. I also don't think anyone would take my eggs with my family medical history.

    I would rather be a gestational surrogate.

  • Yes, actually I had started the process and then found out I was pregnant.

  • Sure. I have three kids already and don't want to have anymore, so I really have no use for them (in fact, my tubes are tied). So, I am all for donating my eggs. I have an aunt who has no children because she can't have them on her own. She is past the age were it would work, but if she had asked, I would probably have done it for her. I guess the way I look at it, the moment it leaves my body, I no longer have "control" of it.
