FreeFlyHol 0 #1 January 3, 2003 The other day my roommate told me that once she starts jumping she plans on selling her eggs to get money for her rig. When I say eggs, please note that I'm not talking Green Acres here. Just curious what your reactions to this are. x's and o's, Hol :)When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?

IronMike 0 #3 January 3, 2003 Is she hot? What else is she interested in selling? I might be interested in some Melons to go along with the eggs. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's good to plan in advance of course, but it might be a good idea to try if she likes it first! >she plans on selling her eggs to get money for her rig. Is she aware that the procedure can be painful and that it includes a 12-inch needle stuck in you? Does she have a buyer? They don't accept just anyone. >When I say eggs, please note that I'm talking Green Acres here. ? Green Acres ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FreeFlyHol 0 #5 January 3, 2003 So sorry I'm a bit sleepy here. I meant to say NOT Green Acres, my bad. No buyers yet. She actually just came up with the plan the other day. I'm really not even sure if she knows what the process entails. If you have any info I'd be curious to hear about it, even though I've expressed my lack of support in the issue. I apologize for the sloppy posts. The sheep are anxiously awaiting my counting. 1...1 sheep...2...2 sheep...3...3 sheep...ah ah ah.... x's and o's, Hol :)When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?

Gawain 0 #6 January 3, 2003 A friend of mine in NorCal did this. It was not a very pleasant experience overall. Remember, you have to have the eggs to sell. That means the treatment involves having a lot of eggs kept in utero then they're "harvested"... Something like that...she explained it to me and it just added one more reason to my gratitude list for being a guy. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

happythoughts 0 #14 January 3, 2003 They've been doing this for years with cows. (Not trying to draw unseemly parallels here.) They give prize cows fertility drugs to over-produce eggs, then fertilize the eggs with prize-bull semen, and implant them in cheaper cows. A while back, there was a supermodel who was selling her eggs on Ebay. Imagine the emotional trauma of having homely parents.

KawiZX900 0 #16 January 3, 2003 I've been thinkin about dropping the boys off at the bank instead of the pool, but it's a process and a little out of the way, but theres plenty of supply so it may be worthwhile. I tend to think that extraction for guys might be a whole lot less complicated than it'll be for the women folk. Whats the going rate anyway?if it's a dollar on the dime, it may be worth while, consider the procedure, is there risk of becoming infertile? this is actually out of my leauge, disregard my comments as nothing more than mindless hee hawwin to get my post #'s up, tired of being an enthusiast. blah blah blah Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds.

mddudek 0 #17 January 3, 2003 Just a lurker adding 2 cents... BTW, you all are gut splitting funny and I've greatly enjoyed reading your posts. On a serious note, I'm with some of the others who said they'd be against the idea. Too much risk for a little outcome. Not to mention the fact that she would be --in a sense-- prostituting herself. Now, don't get me wrong folks, just listen to the analogy. She wants to sell one of the things that makes her a woman, something completely unique to her identity, for money. It's quite different than selling plasma, which I've had to do in leaner times. Now, this whole issue is harder to see in our western culture that has tried to completely seperate sex from procreation, but that's not so easy to do. She wants to sell that part of her that assists in the creation of a unique, unrepeatable human being for dough. There's something quite amiss about that. If anyone who reads this has done such a thing and I've offended, I beg forgiveness. I'm not trying to judge anyone but to answer the question from a philosophical bend. Well... looks like my 2 cents turned into 2 dollars... sorry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyingferret 0 #20 January 3, 2003 Actually, I did some research on selling (the word donating cracked me up) when I started jumping. It was not worth it and I would assume the same here, and probably for a reason noone has mentioned yet. Although in the female case this is very painful I am told, the reason I mention is legal liability. For sperm donation, there are a lot of stipulations about if/when your sperm can be used. If it is used, you are without income for x months, until the allow it again. But worse, ou have to sign away certain rights, including that the offspring has the right to visitation. That made it way to freaky to me! -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,534 #23 January 3, 2003 No problems here, if she doesn't have any. It's an unpleasant physical procedure; she'll probably end up deciding it's not worth it, but that's for her to decide. Egg donation/selling is a way of helping people with trouble conceiving to have children. If she doesn't see the egg as belonging to her, or containing some of her essential "personhood" then I'm sure not going to tell her she's wrong.

PLFXpert 0 #25 January 3, 2003 I've read some of the replies, haven't read them all. I BRIEFLY considered this as well when I first started jumping (they were looking for a certain physical criteria, which I matched and were offering a LOT of $$$)...ha ha ha...go figure...I opted NO b/c it's NOT as simple for a girl to donate as it is for a guy to donate his little swimmers. The hormones alone can cause' crazy reactions. I'm assuming your friend is a big girl and can make her own decision. To each their own. I would say, it's up to you as her friend to be there for her no matter what she decides, even if you don't agree with it. I can't say that I do or don't. I see the pros and cons, but personally, I don't think I'll EVER consider the idea again. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
