"Eggs for Sale" is an engrossing look into an area of our current society in which we must carefully tread. The ethical waters of egg donation and the various ways of profiting from it are muddy indeed, and so we should take care not to create any positions that we think are necessary to "force" onto anyone. When that happens, the entire question and point are lost and we are left needlessly bickering over matters of trivial concern without any purpose.
Probably the trickiest area of this whole concept is the ethical aspects of it. Is it all right for egg donation centers to be so brazen as to advertise in movie theaters, asking the audience to call 1-877-Babymakers as if they were calling a car rental agency? Doesn't it make the people at the ad agency slightly queasy to be sending out chocolate eggs to potential clients? At least one center does not attempt to be cute or pandering with any "Give the gift of life slogans," as they advertise the pure profit to be had in harvesting a woman's ovaries: "Pay your tuition with eggs." (Mead #) .
This is why an increasing number of college students do just that, including the story at the beginning of "Eggs for Sale," about a girl named "Cindy Schiller." Cindy is a left-wing student at Columbia University Law School in New York City. She is passionate about a number of causes, but it seems the thing she is most interested in doing is selling her eggs. She does have a number of political objections to the idea of egg donation, namely that she thinks she is assisting a "white supremacist system." (Mead #) However, all of these high-minded oppositions to the side effects of what she happens to do cease to matter when she gets paid. In fact, at the end of the first section of "Eggs for Sale," she is pretty excited to find out some desperate couples are willing to pay five thousand dollars for her services. Strangely enough, she also gives the impression that she is also mildly disappointed she did not recognize the negotiation of the price which was going on, and expresses dismay that she could have probably gotten more money for her eggs.
