Bible Question:
I have a niece who wants to sell her eggs for cash. Can someone help direct me to specific verses or possibly websites that address this? Time is of the essence. Thanks and God bless! |
Bible Answer: 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 |
