inulroI meant to mention this yesterday but it slipped my mind.
Scientist courts controversy with call for women to donate eggs
It's not like I'm using them for anything else. Chances are, however, than I'm too old and not in good enough health.
Putting aside my predictable feeling that the religious group protesting should just go live with motor neurone disease before making such pronouncements, the "critics" here seem to think that women are too stupid to make informed decisions about their own bodies:
Critics yesterday turned on Prof Wilmut's proposal, claiming it turned human eggs and the women who provide them into commodities. They also warned that any woman considering donating eggs must be fully informed of the health risks before undergoing the lengthy and sometimes painful procedure.
Because we certainly couldn't care about making progress in curing disease and thus making a contribution in some small way to making the world a better place now, could we?
It's at times like this I wish my brain still functioned & I could still write coherently, because I'd quite like to write an open letter to the papers pointing out how bloody patronising this is.
