<p>[Yes</a>, top students reap rich rewards, even as egg donors - The Boston Globe](<a href=“http://www.boston.com/news/health/articles/2010/03/26/yes_top_students_reap_rich_rewards_even_as_egg_donors/]Yes”>http://www.boston.com/news/health/articles/2010/03/26/yes_top_students_reap_rich_rewards_even_as_egg_donors/)</p>
<p>It seems very silly to me to allow compensation of egg donors, but put a cap on the compensation or say that all donors must receive the same amount. If they’re relying on the fiction that egg donors are being compensated for their time rather than for the eggs, it’s still silly; as a lawyer, I take for granted that different workers are paid different hourly rates for their time.</p>
<p>Years ago I was in a support group for mothers of children with classic autism/MR. Most of us had SAT scores that were above 1400 (or so we discovered one day as conversation drifted), great academic backgrounds, and no prior family history of autism or MR. Most of us also had other children considered gifted, but I suppose a hypothetical egg recipient would have felt cheated had they gotten the “wrong” egg from one of us.</p>
