Does anyone remember the promises from the legislators, scientists, and bioethicists that they would not pay women for their eggs for use in cloning research? As with most bioethical promises, they are handed out like candy in order to obtain the desired political result, only to be taken back once that result has been realized. Apparently, New York has decided it will pay as much as $10,000 for women to donate their eggs for cloning research. What’s the problem with that, you say? The problem is that the hyper-ovulation drugs used for the procedure can have adverse effects including sterilization, and even death.

New York is Buying Eggs (and not from chickens)

I find it interesting that blood donors are not paid to give blood in the UK as they reckon it would have adverse effects (wrong people and wrong motive etc) and yet you now have this!?!

That is interesting. I did not know that. That doesn’t make any sense at all. No one dies from giving blood, and yet people do die from the hyperovulation drugs used to extract eggs. While women undergo this risky procedure for their own fertility treatments all the time, it is a whole other thing when they are doing it for an expensive, unproductive, and unnecessary scientific research.
