[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find the infertility entitlement just plain nuts. Nobody has any obligation to keep DE prices low just so that poorer couples have this option open to them. [/quote]

Do you know about IF treatment costs? Some people will have spent over a 100K by the time the Dr tells them they need to switch to donor eggs or bust.  This is not exactly some handout for poor people were talking about. It's middle class couples who put their savings into this.

And then a shocker for you - kidney donations are free.  What's up with that crazy kidney entitlement, huh? Nuts, nuts, nuts!  Up until your kid needs one.[/quote]

Actually, kidney donations have only really taken off since they started the paired donation transplant program - there's a "chain reaction" where someone is getting a kidney for their loved one in exchange for giving to a patient they don't know.

Altruism is great, and amazing, and there certainly are some altruistic people in the world. But make no mistake, compensation in some form (such as getting a kidney for someone you know) drives far more participation, more options, and more success because it attracts more people. [/quote]
