mercenary economics...

i've got this half-serious worst-case-scenario/contingency plan of selling my eggs. by half-serious i mean that i probably would never do it, but you know, never say never.

so yes. i've toyed with the idea of selling my eggs. i figure i'm not using them and may never use them, and i look good on paper to potential buyers (good standardized test scores, the right i.q. and educational pedigree) and all, so why not use the little buggers to pay off some of my debt?

it occurred to me today, however, that i probably can't. you know, because of this whole MS thing. sucks. i already can't give blood because of the MS. i even have one of the good blood types, too (O positive). but i have dirty DNA. i'm damaged goods. it would logically follow that not only can i not sell my eggs, i also can't sell blood plasma or hock a kidney on the black market.

damn.

That's not exactly the kind of thing you get a questionnaire about if you're selling your kidney on the black market. And even if you did get asked, you'd probably still get about 25k instead of 30.

i thought about selling my eggs too, but the process kinda turned me off. apparently they give you drugs and then you have to go through an operation where they harvest your eggs. i'm not a chicken. plus i think you only get like 5K for top-quality eggs like yours or mine would be.
