The money was a big factor in my choice. Anyway, the point is, I was rejected. Turns out there's too much cancer in my family, and no fertility center would take my eggs. It makes me wonder: If my eggs aren't good enough for strangers, is it fair for me to use them someday? Am I condemning an innocent child to cancer if I choose to reproduce? I wish I hadn't filled out the application form, because I wish I didn't know that I have "undesireable" DNA.KarmaTeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10591382963888299947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772298496019749350.post-24709246654129848272007-10-27T10:06:00.000-07:002007-10-27T10:06:00.000-07:00I personally feel very strongly about the issue of...I personally feel very strongly about the issue of all the kids who need to be adopted. I think it's selfish to have kids in light of that. Which is not to say that I'm not terribly selfish and plan to have kids rather than adopt; but on the other hand, I would never accept donated eggs/sperm before adopting an already extant child. (I think that this conviction comes largely from watching too much Law & Order SVU.) But I also don't judge others' decisions--so yay you! do you get to enjoy NYC? or is it going to be all appointments, no fun? Good luck! (how many eggs are you donating? How does that work, anyway?)Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864531460167523206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772298496019749350.post-3025174922208960322007-10-26T09:15:00.000-07:002007-10-26T09:15:00.000-07:00OMG!!
