Asian Egg Donors

The LA Times recently wrote an article about egg donation. As many articles on egg donation that were written by people that are not in the position of an infertile couple it focuses on the rare accordance is off well for the couples that are willing to shell out a whole lot of money for a perfect egg donor. In 1999 that was a fashion photographer who was selling donor egg from fashion models for 150,000 US dollar.

The desire to conceive a healthy and genetically well equipped child is nothing that should he morally judged. It is indeed a natural instinct in human beings. Today’s technology just makes possible more advanced methods of scientifically enhancing the probabilities of a healthy child. Think about it. People spend huge amounts of money on baby care products. They won’t their children to grow up to be healthy happy and successful part of our society. Paid egg donation just starts a little earlier — kind of pre-conceptiv child care.

Of course there are also strange variations of that. An example is where their walks to requests from a couple for an egg donor that resembles a certain fashion and runway model.

An egg donor supermarket where you can choose Naomi Campbell, Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein or Bill Gates eggs is a funny idea for a cartoon, but doesn’t help to raise awareness and understanding for the desire of couples to grow their family. It also doesn’t help in building a more centralized database off all available egg donors and requests for egg donors that match certain criteria.

Such a central database would not only help to facilitate faster matchmaking between egg donors and infertile couples and us reduce the waiting time enormously, it would also render unnecessary the huge amounts of money that can be consumed by the process of finding a befitting egg donor.

However, currently there is no such central database in the making. In fact in the US there isn’t even a centralized register or some kind of legislation when it comes to previous egg donations. In many European countries there are laws that egg donation agencies and egg donation clinics have to tear too. For example they have to keep records off who was in the egg donor of a certain child. This is important for medical reasons. Sometimes medical conditions arise that might be linked to a genetic predisposition. In these cases and with the advancement of science is knowing the medical history off an egg donor, even the medical history off grid estimation has taken place [keep in mind that most egg donors are very young - usually between 21 to 35 years old, and most medical conditions arise later in life].
