Take a Look

Today I found a website that was like an advertisement for a donor recipient couple looking for an egg donor.
I don't know how I feel about it. Just thought I would share. Check it out. Your thoughts?

I'm not sure what I think about it either. I think the page is well done in that she is not saying, "I need the donor to be x, y and z" but if she wasn't that picky, why put up a website at all.

I think that I have very high view of my own genes. I think most people do. I also think it is good to recognize, at least logically if not emotionally, that you cannot recreate yourself in a baby. It seems to me that someone trying that hard to get the perfect match is still hoping for a mini-me.

Agreed with kami.

There's something nice about the simplistic nature in which she's asking for something that could be perceived as complicated.

But there's somthing mildly creepy about her perseverance on her high IQ. I suspect she wants people to read between the lines. And why not just be candid if you've gone as far as to create a website soliciting potential donors?

I don't know. That might be creepier.

I think the whole thing is creepy. I really don't have any problem with her doing that, but it just feels personally creepy. The site is nice, it just made me feel weird.

I also didn't really like the whole IQ thing.
