Eric33415, Hi and welcome to the forum. I was ready to give you a smart answer when I realized you were talking about your niece’s human eggs not her chicken eggs. I would have had egg on my face! In all seriousness that is due the situation let me say. You are not going to find a passage in the Bible that says this wrong. However our conscience tells us something isn’t right here. Your niece’s eggs are potential children, children are to be loved and nurtured not sold as commodities. Some will argue she is helping others that can’t have babies by donating an egg. My question is would she be this willing to donate if she were not getting paid? If she has a couple in mind and they can’t have a child of their own and your sister can give an egg and make it possible, it is a good idea on the surface. However I have seen women do this and then live in despair knowing their child is being raised by someone else. So there is always that potential. It could even be strong enough that she would feel the need to try and recover the baby and that would probably end up destroying everyone involved. So there is a lot of potential for disaster here. If she is just selling eggs because she can and wants the money then I would say she has a problem with money, respect for the human body, and respect for herself. God never intended Babies to be bought and sold no matter the form. Ed |

I guess what I don't understand is all these people selling or donating eggs, sperm, etc, cloning, artificial insem., etc. yet there are all these others having abortions, something doesn't quite seem right here... | ||||||

Your right Norrie it isn't quite right. If all the people that aborted their baby would give them up for adoption instead, there would be plenty of adoptive parents. Unfortunately there is the issue of money. It costs money to have a baby, prenatal care, delivery, and such. Then you have the cost of adoption for the courts, lawyers, and such. It costs about 200-600 dollars for the abortion. What society has done is said I can pay the cost of having the baby and putting it up for adoption or I can abort it for a couple hundred bucks. Many choose the cheapest way. Doesn’t make sense we put a cost on a life to not be worth a all the cost for having a baby but then when someone is injured we sue for millions. The selling of eggs, sperm, and all can be looked at as a humanitarian effort, after all you are making it possible for a sterile man or woman to be parents. However most are doing it for the money not the result. If this wasn’t done and the same money that is spent on the collection, storage, fertilization, implantation, and prenatal and delivery care, would be spent on saving and placing for adoption an already conceived baby think how many babies could be saved. Society is sick when we condone getting rid of a baby for a couple hundred bucks but we award a person 30 million dollars when they pour coffee on themselves. |
