I may do paid posts but I don't think I could sell an egg

Granted I'm at an age where no oone would probably want one of my eggs anyway but I really have to wonder at the mentality of those that would sell one of their eggs to some unknown person to create a child. I can see doing this for a family member or someone you love and known to help them be able to have a child but taking, $8,000 per egg? Reading this news piece makes me wonder what kind of a society have we become when someone:

CHICAGO (AP) - Human egg donation was a rarity not so long ago. But heightened demand for eggs - and rising compensation for donors - are prompting more young women to consider it.

Jennifer Dziura, a 28-year-old New Yorker, is one of them.

She received $8,000 to donate her eggs in the fall of 2005 and hopes she'll be chosen again before the private egg broker she's registered with considers her too old. She realizes prospective parents who view her profile might think it a minus that her father is adopted, allowing for little medical history from his side. She also figures some are looking for a blonde, instead of a brunette.


Some people think that doing paid posts on their blogs is questionable...I have to wonder in comparison to something like this why they even bother to focus on what we are doing. None of us are selling off our DNA...
