There is a 37 year old woman who is three months pregnant in Connecticut. Not very unusual or note worthy except that she is so from using a egg from a egg bank. Sperm bank for men, egg bank for women. It is the new and coming thing...
Less common and more complicated, apparently there is a problem with the freezing and thawing of the egg. Scientists have been working on it and they estimate that in five years, a women will be able to flip through the pages in a catalog to pick a mommy and her egg. More options for women. It will never fly...
Forget the legal and moral questions.
Forget the 15% of the population that will do ANYTHING
Forget what you think and go with your gut.
Women are built different than men. Sperm banks have been around forever. Beside the immediate perks, there is usually money involved and with no commitment - seems like the ideal activity for men. Don't you think that if this had been popular that a bunch of women scientists would have gotten together and made it happen by now?
Women are nurturers by nature. Look at all the sadness wrapped up in abortions and adoptions. Do you really think that a woman would make a deposit in an egg bank never knowing if every child that they pass on any street for the rest of their lives, could be hers? I think the scientists have a Big Problem on their hands. They might be more successful to ask women to check a box on their drivers license to be an egg donor - after death.
Some things can't be changed or altered by medical breakthroughs. Women are who they are and I am so proud to be among them. Just don't ask for my egg - you may get more than you bargained for...
