Has egg donation replaced stripping?
It used to be that if you were a girl who needed some extra cash to get through college, there was a certain faction of attractive women who would ditch their tops and hit the pole for a boatload of quick cash. These days, attractive women have other options. They can just sell an egg.
I was watching the Today show the other day, and they had a segment dedicated to college girls who sell their eggs for thousands of dollars. THOUSANDS! And of course, everyone pays top dollar for the eggs of good looking, ivy league educated high-IQed white girls in their early 20s. Upwards of $10,000.
Do you know what my egg would earn? The egg of a thirty-plus, moderately educated and somewhat bright black woman would probably garner a check of $50. Eggs from African-Americans seem to be the least in demand. The news report indicated that most people are looking for caucasian eggs, and that Asian and Indian eggs are difficult to find. So what’s up? Are black children not in demand? They didn’t mention Hispanic kids either, so maybe we’re just not the desirable eggs.
Anyway, I think it’s damned unfortunate that the egg donation option wasn’t around when I was in college. I would have found someone to purchase my egg for at least a few thousand. If I could do it now, I would. Hell, I’m not planning to use them. Someone might as well.
Then again, I’m not sure if I want to look at little kids, and wonder if my egg might’ve created that kid. And then pity the poor child for perpetuating my gene pool.
