How much would you be willing to sell your sperm/eggs for?

It depends on how much I could get someone to pay for them.

I'm not giving any part of my body away until I die (oh, except for donating blood. But I'm not even old enough to do so yet!!! >) Besides, I am indignant about it because blondes always get a higher price than brunettes.

I'm not really interested in the potential legal entanglements. Barring that, they would just need to ask nicely.

Haven't you spent some time in the UK? If you've been there for more than 6 months total, the Red Cross won't take your blood (although a hospital might). Something to do with Mad Limey Disease.

That's right, I remember reading about it. Yes, I have spent quite a lot of time in Europe. But I live in Central America.

I have major ethical problems with IVF when there are so many children in the world who need foster care or adoption.
I would not sell my eggs.

I would give my eggs to my sister, but I would want a couple thousand from a stranger.

Are you serious? Blondes get more? That's kinda interesting.
How old are you?
I know that where I live you can donate under the age of 18 but you need parental consent. Maybe your parents would let you donate if you wanted to.

Now that I've seen what one of my children is like, and how much she means to me, and how valuable she is as a human being...I cannot think of my eggs with any less potential than that and that makes them extremely precious. I could never NOT have a part in raising someone who formed from my eggs.

We have a genetic disorder in my family that I have a 50 per cent chance of passing on, so no, I wouldn't sell or donate my eggs even if I was younger.

More than $30k with the condition that the kid NEVER contact me.

I usually charge around $500/orgasm, depending on the client. Prostitution has always been an interesting business...

As much as they're willing to pay for them, really.

I mean it. Since blondes are considered the standard of beauty, of course their eggs will be worth more. I read a really interesting story lately about this topic...it showed these two absolutely beautiful women--almost flawless--and the blonde one had her eggs priced almost three times as much as the brunette. I'm fourteen. I would like to, but you can't until you're 18. Period.

they arent for sale but if I was going to sell them it would have to be for a hell of a lot more than 30 grand, more like $250,000.00

I wish I would have known that before my blonde hair turned red. lol

I wonder if it'll be the same in 100 years from now.

5-10,000 minimum. I understand it's a painful process for a woman to donate her eggs.

from what I understand they just shove a camera up her crotch to find the ovaries and take the eggs out with a needle...I could be wrong though

Um, and that wouldn't be painful? In fact, it takes three to four weeks to be a successful donor. Women have to go through about 2 - 2 1/2 weeks of daily hormone injections that cause various side effects. Then the procedure requires a general anesthetic and is considered invasive surgery. There's recovery time and chaotic emotions from hormones being artificially added, the removed from the woman's body. So, it's not just "shove a camera up her crotch...", it's much more involved, physically and emotionally.

If someone wanted them, I could use the money, but after reading about the procedure, it would cost way more than $30,000!!

On the other hand, if it was a close friend or family member, I'd do it for nothing (beyond whatever expense is involved).

I wasn't saying it was a simple procedure. I know that there is a lot more involved.

In order to ensure that the eggs are good, they pump the woman FULL of hormones. You have to take a mess of pills every day for a month or two, and it really messes with your body and your moods. Then there's the painful extraction process...
I read some magazine article profiling a few women who donated their eggs, and none of the women had anything good to say about the process.

What Pooh_Bear said, too

You could come to the UK to donate blood - doesn't matter if you've spent time in Europe then! Oh, but you not quite old enough - I think you have to be 17 to give blood here.....(I'm working at the Blood Transfusion Service centre in Sheffield over summer - I got a bursary to do a science project and that's where I've ended up. It's pretty cool! Giving blood is very worthwhile.)

You won't give any part of your body until you die? What about a kidney if a member of your family needed a transplant, or bone marrow?

Well, I don't know. It's kind of a scary prospect! I would give a part of my body to my child or husband if they needed a transplant. But if it were anyone else of my nuclear family, I would probably just tell them to use Silly Putty instead. Oh, that's so mean. I just wish I could like them better

I think you're right - you shouldn't donate a kidney unless you really cared about someone, there are things that can go wrong and you may find yourself in a situation where *your* only remaining kidney fails.

Do you carry a donor card? (Do they have things like that where you live?)

No. I think the only thing I have like that is my blood type, written in my Hello Kitty agenda. Sheesh! We should probably have them.

Even if you have one, they still have to ask your next-of-kin's permission to use your organs so as long as they know your wishes and agree it should be okay. A donor card just lets the doctors know that they have someone whose family will probably give permission. That way they can keep you on a machine and pumping blood into you until they can get that permission.

What's you blood type? All I know is that I shouldn't be O because my Dad's an A and my Mum's an AB (so I could be A, B or AB). I don't know what they are with regards to Rhesus or Kell though.

If someone is willing to pay something for the little swimmers, I'll take their money. Of course, the details of the situation would have a reasonable effect on how much I might ask for.

I'm B. But if you don't know your blood type, that's okay because they'll just use O on you, since it's neutral. I honestly don't know how the hell I know that.

I would donate, if there was a really good reason.

id donate them

They will just pump you with O in an emergency but they don't like doing it! There are too many things that can go wrong - remember A and B antigens aren't the only ones present in blood. Otherwise they'd only bother getting blood from O donors and my Dad would be out of a job! (He ensures that blood is a close enough match to be issued for people with particular immune disorders.)

As much as I can get. :)

Right.

Since I've been fixed, I'd want hundreds of thousands of dollars from someone who was able to have children with it.

Not for sale. My children will be raised by me.

I heard it's really hard on the female body to donate eggs. I would have to learn more about the procedure.
