[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Either the DNA connection to a child is deeply meaningful or it isn’t. If it’s this meaningful to OP’s sister, she should understand why it’s meaningful to OP as well.[/b] If the idea of not having a genetic connection to the child you’re raising is painful, you should be able to understand that the idea of having someone else raise your biological offspring is also potentially painful.[/quote]

NP. This is almost word for word what I wanted to write. And fwiw the genetic connection is very important to me and I couldn’t have someone else raising my child. I’d be very uncomfortable with this request and I wouldn’t look at the sister the same way again.[/quote]

So your genetic connection to your nonexistent potential child is so important that you don't value your genetic connection to your actual sister enough to be able to maintain a healthy relationship.  [/quote]

It's how it goes. The parent/child relationship is much more important than a sibling relationship. What decent parent values their sibling more than their own child? This genetic connection isn't as casual as some are trying to make it seem.[/quote]

[b]We’re not talking about an actual child. [/b]We’re talking about how the question about donating one’s eggs to a sibling is apparently so blatantly offensive that it should never be asked.

Of course the genetic connection is really important to some people and they’d never be comfortable donating their eggs. That’s fine. That’s also different than whether the question can even be asked.[/quote]

Uhhh... I guess that's why many of us cannot get on the same wavelength. We're thinking of this as a child, not eggs.[/quote]
