[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women who are college educated have less financial incentive to go through the unpleasant process of egg donation.[/quote]

This is what it comes down to.

[b]There’s a certain level of desperation and poverty needed to motivate women to donate eggs.[/b] It’s a painful and long process with negative health consequences for the donor. Plus it could adversely affect her ability to have her own children in the future. I had a lot of student loans as an undergrad and seriously considered it, but I couldn’t bring myself to go through with it. Now that I’m older and I have my own children, I’m so relieved I didn’t. I would hate to have my children’s half siblings raised by strangers. [/quote]

So, wealthy donor recipients actually exploit young, poor egg donors. Wealthy women had always exploited poor women throughout history - slavery, paid domestic help, manual laborers, nannies, even their poor neighbors and less fortunate friends. It goes to show that women are not other women' best friends. Wealthy woman does not have a poor woman's best interest at heart. That much for feminism.[/quote]
