There are many women who can't conceive. Would you be an anonymous egg donor?

I have actually looked into becoming an egg donor. The reason I did not follow through was the fact that the locations were quite far from where I live and the process is quite long and tedious. I am still young, 22, and not yet stable enough in my life to want to have children.

I am not using my eggs and feel that giving them to someone else who wants to have children and is ready to have them, but cannot naturally, is a great thing to do. On the other hand, I do know that my father has many health problems that I may have inherited. This may exclude me from being able to donate my eggs due to health concerns.

I think I would happily donate an egg to a family member that couldn't concieve. I would also have no problem being a surrogate for them either. As far as being an anon donor, I would consider it more if infertility had touched my life on some way and I saw first hand the struggle and heart breat associated with it.

I have considered donating to my sister, but she has yet to get genetic testing done -- her daughter has trisomy 13, and if they ever have a second kid they hope to eliminate the genetics that created it. Yes, I think I certainly could be an anonymous egg donor, and may likely look into it. I'm 25 now, and pregnant with what my husband and I have agreed is our last child -- my third, his seventh.

After that, I will have no use for them, and my husband will be going under the knife to make sure they're not used. If they could go to allowing someone else to have the child they've longed for, I'd certainly be willing to do it. My husband has spent many years in the medical field, and he's a bit worried about the chance of infection, but if I could calm his fears then nothing else is standing in my way.

I think I could donate eggs without feeling parental to the child -- however, I know I would NOT be able to be a surrogate without feeling like it's my baby.

It is a difficult decision to make. On one hand, you let a couple become parents who were unable to conceive on their own, and on the other hand there is someone out there that had your DNA. If I knew someone who wanted to have a child and couldn't do it in the traditional way and came to me and asked me directly if I would do it, I would have to have some time to think about it.

Every life was very important and I would feel sad for the woman who want to have children but did have the opportunity to do so. I guess nothing is wrong to donate an egg for this purpose but that child about to be born was your own blood and flesh and its hard that you were not to be the parent of that child.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
