So recently I have been thinking about giving someone the ability to have a child of their own... I have been thinking about donating some of my eggs. I know there's a hefty compensation for doing it, but that's not so much the feeling of why I am thinking about it. Those of you that know me well, know that I donate blood, and am thinking about donating all of me when I die anyways, "If I'm not using it, why not let someone else."
I think it's a great thing, donating a few eggs so that a couple that can't have children, or don't want to spread a genetic disorder to their child can have a child using something that I don't use and will not be using for another 5 years at least.
The process is long, to donate... that is if I pass the long testing period that they have to decide if you are exceptional enough to donate. I would have to take 5 different pills, and give myself 3 shots... but that's so little thinking about the gift I could be giving someone else, something they've always wanted. It even says that if I want to I have the choice between keeping in contact with the family or going on with just the knowledge of myself giving some couple a child. I'd be so happy. It warms me up inside thinking about it.
I don't know if I should do it or not, I would need people's support if I were excepted. I need to know that I would recieve it...
