Saw this on Craigslist this other day:
ASIAN EGG DONORS NEEDED. (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. $8000 and up (Greater SF Bay Area), posted by the
SF Donor Network:
Would you like to help a couple realize their dream of becoming parents and be well compensated for your time? We are currently recruiting Caucasian donors and donors of all Asian ethnicities: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Vietnamese, Thai, Indian, etc.
First time donors earn $8000.
Repeat donors earn $8,500. You may donate up to 6 times total for maximum earnings of over $50,000.
We currently are working with several Asian and Caucasian couples that are hoping to find a young woman to help them to achieve their dream of becoming a family. We are the oldest egg donor agency in San Francisco, and work with fertility clinics throughout the greater San Francisco Bay area.
Who are their clients? Middle- and upper-class Asian and Caucasian career women who married lately and are having difficulty conceiving as a result? Do Caucasian women pay for eggs from Asian women in order to produce one of those "cute, mixed[-race] chldren"?
The kicker at the end:
DONORS MUST BE:
*20 to 27 years of age (Asian donors may be up to 28 years old.)
*healthy and non-smoking
*mature and responsible
*have complete knowledge of family medical history
*willing to commit 20-25 hours of your time, over about 2 to 2 1/2 months
*currently enrolled in, attended for some period, or graduated from a four year college
*have a complete knowledge of medical history of family members including siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles
*It is helpful if you own a car, but it is not a requirement.
Compensation: $8000 to $8,500 plus expenses per donation. May earn up to $50,000
Women over 30 who haven't had children yet - as it has been pointed out by others, what does this requirement on the part of human egg brokers say about the state of your own eggs and your fertility?
Women in their 20s - if you're living it up and don't have any intention settling down, why not sell those useless eggs to someone who will pay you money for them - you can go on a shopping spree afterwards to celebrate! Or you can save up so that you, too, can purchase some eggs later when you decide it is time to have children. Better yet, maybe you can look into freezing some of your eggs now for use later!
