I was disgusted to read in metro this morning that they are considering a new scheme whereby women can have their eggs harvested in order to receive reduced rate IVF treatment. How is this policy of preying on vulnerable and hormonal women even being considered let alon possibly actioned? It is a disgrace. Women are being treated like a commodity, which is bad enough, but at a time when they are emotionally and physically fragile it is just sickening. Our bodies are not for farming to increase the governments profitibility.

i have a feeling you cant get paid for sperm donations here-correct me if im worng...
Every sperm is sacred don't forget! -
This is slightly off-topic, but I have often noticed the disparity in the IVF/donation realm. I note that MEN are often paid for sperm donation (varying from country to country), but that WOMEN are never paid for ova donation even though it involves months of hormonal therapy and invasive medical procedures. I don't think there is a country where women are 'allowed' to 'sell their eggs', yet any jerk with a penis is given porn and gets a small fist of dollars for the five minute 'inconvenience' into his life.
Perhaps this post is actually on-topic and part of the same continuum?
