[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a donor and I admit I could have chosen simpler ways to make the same amount of money but I felt good about helping a couple in need, mainly because I know the joy that having a baby can bring so I DO not see it as a simple business transaction.

But would you have done it for free? No.  Therefore it was an egg sale, not a donation.  Lawyers help people, perhaps even saving their lives, every day.  Yet the benefits that result from their honorable work do not make it anything other than a commercial transaction, unless is it pro-bono.  You can't wear the veil of the sanctimonious do-gooder and get the money.  Sorry.[/quote]

I don't think it's just a business transaction.  Like many aspects of life, it is a combination commerce and personal decision.  As egg recipient, we 'shopped' to make sure we could afford the fee while making sure the clinic did not have any reported violations or bad reputation.  We appreciate what the donor did for our family.  I sometime think about her when I look at our DC.      [/quote]
