Selling Female Eggs

[celestine]

And while I accept the whole LBGT thing as it is, I'm against the idea of them raising children. Sorry, but to me it's sick. People nowadays have the right to everything beyond human decency and reason.

...really?

If you have that opinion, you clearly don't understand anything about homosexuality - as in, there is nothing to understand. They're just normal people who happen to be attracted to the same sex as themselves. Calling that 'sick' and 'wrong' is incredibly offensive.

Thanks, but to you typing works better than reading. I didn't call homosexuality as such sick. Same-sex parents are. And if you don't tolerate my view on this - that would be so typical for those with a Liberal mindset.

You can get paid for donating sperm, but it's pretty miniscule AND you've got to have some damn impressive bragging rights. You'd be lucky to get like 100 dollars for... a deposit... if you were a graduate student studying theoretical physics at Harvard or a star athlete or something.

If just so happens that the donation of ovum is much more invasive, and it isn't something that can be done on demand, so it is much more expensive. I mean, think about it for a second here... I shouldn't need to explain why donating eggs pays out so much more than sperm.

I guess you follow the idea that you need parents of both genders to succeed. This is simply not the case. All evidence points to the only downside to having your parents be gay/lesbian is that other people direct their homophobia at you.

Female eggs is terribly redundant.

I don't think so. Just saying "eggs" typically refers to some sort of animal's eggs that we talk about more commonly, like chicken eggs. Saying "female" rather than some sort of animal puts it out there that we're not talking about an animal, thus making the only logical contender a human female.

It's all about context, my friend.

[sub](Yes, I realize humans are also animals, so lay off that, too. You know what I mean. Again, context.)[/sub]

Yeah, I figured that if I just made the topic header 'Selling Eggs', people would think chickens. -_-'

I know little of the procedures - after all, it is highly unlikely the information passes my daily life and chores.

Still, I can think of one lady I know. She was kicked quite hard at a young age, from accident, tragically disabling half of her egg supply.
Her time is more limited than others to be granted a child. I don't know what her thoughts would be of egg transplantations, but there are indeed females out there who do not have an equally functioning ovary system. They may be interested, or even blessed, in the knowledge of there being donators.

I'm perfectly willing to "tolerate" your mindset -- goodness knows I hate picking on ignorant little bigots who are too stupid to know better! -- but none of us will ever accept your mindset in politics or reproductive health policies. So if you're okay with being ignored until you and your homophobic brethren become entirely obsolete, then I'm fine with ignoring you. Shouldn't take long; gays and gay parents are gaining more public acceptance ever day.

I obviously don't know this lady's circumstances, but if she only has one functioning ovary I believe she should still have a normal amount of time before hitting menopause. Some women alternate which ovary they ovulate from; one month they release an egg from the left ovary, the next they release an egg from the right ovary. So if anything I would guess she might just have months where she is more or less likely to be fertile depending on when her functional ovary is active. And luckily a woman doesn't have to run out of eggs before she hits menopause; the timing is controlled by hormone levels, among other things, more than just how many eggs you have (that's also why girls on the pill won't be forced to wait until they're 90-years-old to hit menopause! ;p)

Those damn liberals! always tryin' to have opinions about stuff, makes me SICK. bein' all... liberal-y.

(for reference- i do not belong to any definable 'group' like liberal or conservative et cetera. i am merely being silly)

the idea of raising children in general makes me sick. so i guess your just more tolerant than me.

What? You say a group of people "sicken" you and then complain about people not tolerating you?

Really?

Why is there no like button on these forums yet?

That's pretty much all I've got to say.

You call me "ignorant little bigot" because my opinion differs from you, and under the same breath preach tolerance? Hypocrisy Central, dude. And sorry to disappoint, but I prefer men who know what being a man is, and that can't come from little boys educated only by women. Even if their parents are biologically males, since they do everything not to be one.

And about public acceptance - which part of the society are you talking about? In a few decades, the US will be taken over by the Latinos and the EU by the Muslims and they don't have much tolerance for homosexuality. Go, find a gay bar and enjoy your time until you can.

I can tell from your posts that you've never actually met a gay-raised family. Fun fact: it makes no difference. I was raised by adoptive lesbians and I'm not some skipping fairy. It turns out, people who attempt to play the role of the dominative male figure to "teach him how to be a man"tends to just be an asswipe on a power trip.


Incidentally, there's a property of hypocrasy and intolerance that states that pointing out that somebody is an ignorant, intolerant ass is neither intolerance nor hypocrasy.

I feel for you.

There you go, that explains it all pretty well.

Also, I'm pretty sure people do get paid for donating sperm, or else I imagine there would be a lot less people doing it. I can also understand women being paid a lot more for their eggs, since they actually have to have surgery, and the fact that they only have a limited supply, whereas men can produce infinite amounts of sperm.

Women start out with 300 000 eggs, which is more than enough!

I really wish that I could believe you are just a really good troll but unfortunately people as intolerant, offensive, ignorant and just plain wrong as you appear to exist in large numbers hopefully one day the sensible people of this world will find a way to educate you on how to be a decent human being without the need for a lobotomy.

In a few decades, the US will be taken over by the Latinos

'bout time this country got a little variety. i was starting to get bored.

and if we're going with time shenanigans- we're all gonna die in a berjillion years or so, so why give a hoot?

Anyone who thinks different than you must be re-educated or lobotomized? That makes you sound like a true Nazi. Go get a life.

Someone who thinks same-sex marriages raising children is inherently "sick" SHOULD be re-educated, it obviously didn't go right the first time.

Indeed. I even did a quick search to see if there are any species where the male produces ovum. There are not.

Depends on how you define it. For example, several species of frogs and a few kinds of fish, (clownfish for example) are quite capable of switching genders if needed. So, if you are going by gender at time of birth, there are indeed male eggs

Because it is because of pathetic views like yours that gay people still cant marry in some parts of the US, among other things. It's fine that you and your friends share some idiot beliefs, but don't hurt other by doing so.
