donate an egg for icecream
yesterday a friend asked me about donating eggs and it made me think. would i donate my eggs for money? or am i too hippie to do it just for the money? maybe i'm half hippie?
i guess i would do it for someone i know, or for someone that knows someone who needs a donor. but do i want to have 7.000 dollars for it? half hippie joy says 'as long as it covers the expenses, and icecream, it's good enough'.
realistically, in holland it's not allowed to get money for a donation and it's illegal to stay anonymous. and realistically, if i lived somewhere where i could get huge buckets of cash for it, i might say yes anyways. just as long as i get icecream afterwards together with the bucket of cash.

wow, now you made me think (and sorry for stalking you with comments on every post haha).
normally i'm like "i donate everything! now! where can i sign up?" but then - hey! - that kiddo would be HALF ME... it's not like someone having my blood or my liver or something.
i'm not sure if i would do it even for a friend, actually. imagine having your best friend having your kid... who's not actually your kid at all. but still half you. everything could be so weird.
i know! i actually can't really make up my mind about it. after i wrote this little eggs and icecream entry, i felt like an idiot!
the kid would indeed be HALF me, so maybe donating to a close friend would feel weird. but on the other hand, if i would donate to a close friend i would also understand and feel her and know how happy it would make her..
so maybe rather donate to a friend than a complete stranger?
tough question..
