It’s not like men that jizz in a cup. It involves giving yourself injections and a procedure to remove the egg, with recovery time.

The process makes you extremely fertile and often comes with crazy mood swings. Plus you have to be marketable, which involves an interview process where you prove you’re healthy, attractive, not fat, free of mental/physical illness, and have good family history. They often want competitive GPA and IQ scores.

This is the most dystopian capitalistic eugenetics I have ever heard. I am happy it is illegal where I live

That has to be true for men as well, right?

They should open her mouth and check her teeth before they buy.

The term “donated” implies it was for free. Shouldn’t it be “sold” instead?
Gimpydude@lemmynsfw.com 8 months ago
Yes, but in this context ‘donated’ is used in the biological sense, not financial. She sold her eggs, but she is the egg donor.

Yes

Closer and closer to that dystopian future where selling your body parts for money and cybernetic replacements happens - except we don’t get the cool 2077 future and replacement parts.

This is such an utterly perfect example of life in America that I am stunned.
Excellent pick, OP!

Except she didn’t go to school in America. Instead she “enrolled in a program at the London School of Economics and Political Science as an international student.”
afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Oh don’t really feel so bad for her than. She wants to be an economist she should live in the world the economists are building

Look on one hand its fucked up that student loans are this unaffordable.
On the other hand, its actually pretty awesome that we possess the science to be able to do this process at all, such that women who normally would not be able to birth children now can through the help of another woman donating eggs.
There’s a fuck tonne of women out there who really want kids and are devastated to learn they are infertile, and this provides a solution for them.
Now, what would make this less of an orphan crusher would be if the government itself sponsored the process, so it was taxpayer money that funded the process instead of the infertile woman out of pocket.

on one hand it would be awesome if the govt just froze every womans eggs at like 18 years old, but then what would stop them from secretly building a prisoner/army/slave etc population?

What on earth are you talking about mate.

It’s so stupid and shortsighted to create these huge financial barriers that make it incredibly difficult for people to afford a higher education. Educated citizens create better lives for everyone.

But then where will the rich people get tears for their martinis?

Thanks to my parents, I was free of undergraduate student loans, so I thought taking on student loans for my master’s degree wouldn’t be the worst decision. I enrolled in a program at the London School of Economics and Political Science as an international student.
Yeah, I don’t think “the rich” are on the hook for this person’s debt

Tough. Rasing chickens and not even being able to have some eggs from them really sucks. Hope you can get some next time they lay

Then you didn’t donate anything, you sold it.
“I sold some of my own body parts to try and escape crushing debt.”
There, fixed that for you. Unfortunately, many of us are in the same boat, so I sincerely hope you can escape now, good luck.

The name of the process is egg donation. It's called egg donation because she is the donor.
That is what the word means.
Powerpoint@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
She sold her eggs. Correctly phrasing it should be she sold her collected eggs as a donor. Using the word donation implies a different meaning in this context.
