Would you sell one of your kidneys if it meant you could be debt free? How about your eggs (if you're a woman)? Or some bone marrow?
I was doing some research on debt repayment and found an article about a woman that sells her eggs for $10,000 a pop to pay off debt. I must admit, it peaked my interest, if only for a moment.
It got me to thinking.......
How far would I go?
In some countries the poor line up to sell organs for money, if we could do that here I wonder how many people would do it.
I don't like children and do not want any (I won't change my mind, I've felt this way since I was 12), why shouldn't I make some money off of my unused eggs?
I don't drink (my kidneys probably look show room new), why not cash in?
The moral battle wages on, but in the mean time......
How far would you go?

This is a really interesting issue you bring up, and one we may be seeing more of as people struggle.
ReplyDeleteI myself would not sell my eggs. (Although at 42, I am not expecting a line beating down my door, demanding to buy them.) I don't even have to consider for a moment, there is absolutely no way. I have children, and I am an adoptee, so I think both things influence my opinion.
However, that is a highly personal decision. My opinion applies only to me. If someone else wants to sell her eggs, that is her decision to make.
When I was in college, our college newspaper had a lot of ads about women selling eggs and I can honestly say I contemplated it. But the idea was short lived. The thought for $10,000 for me was crazy. I wanted to go shopping with that. And who knows MAYBE if I did it, I wouldn't be in debt...
ReplyDeleteBut yeah good thing I didn't and wasn't really serious about it..
I'm apprehensive about selling eggs. I don't want kids now, but I may change my mind in the next 10 yrs. On the other hand, I would give up my healthy kidney for the right price. Seriously.
