I've thought about donating my eggs. I guess I would be in the minority, I wouldn't want to meet the prospective parents or the child in the future. If I formed any time of relationship or attachment it would just be too hard for me. I'd want to be one of those completely anonymous donors. If the couple wanted to send me a letter saying "thank you" I would insist it go through the clinic with no last names (because then it would be too easy to try to "find them" and I again, wouldn't want to "tempt" myself).
I just feel that if I donate it has to be on those terms. I was born with all th eggs I'll ever have and I won't use half of them. Maybe I can let someone else have one to have a child. I'm not sure though. Mainly because I wouldn't want something to cause me not to be able to have children of my own in the future.
