Would you consider donating an egg?
Remember those espisodes of Friends where Phoebe offers to carry the baby of her little brother and his wife the home economics teacher? Frank Jr. and Alice.
Those were some classic episodes. Phoebe agrees to it, the eggs are inserted into her, and she ends up getting pregnant with triplets instead of just one baby. Chaos ensues, but all ends up well.
Did you know that is actually possible? That you can donate an egg to someone who is unable to have a child of their own? You don’t even have to carry the child, just donate the egg.
Egg donors are some special people. It can’t be easy to know that someday, that egg, with all of your DNA in it, is going to be pared up with some other DNA to create a living, breathing, human being. Will you ever meet them? Will your egg be used? Some very difficult questions to ponder.
One thing is for sure, it can change someone’s life. More like two or three person’s lives, but you get the idea.
