Egg donation payments can top $50,000

Article body:

Advertisements soliciting egg donations from women at Cornell often appear in the classifieds section of The Sun from companies specializing in ovum donation and surrogacy services.

Many of the advertisements specify qualities of desired egg donors such as religion, eye-color, age, lifestyle and SAT score. While the ads serve a good purpose in helping infertile families, they also pose moral and ethical dilemmas. Should people be in the business of marketing their eggs? Should prospective parents be screening children on the basis of race, physical attributes, and intelligence?
