This morning I read an article about a fertility clinic in London which is set to raffle a human egg "to promote a new IVF service that circumvents UK law."
The article described a woman who received two eggs from a 27-year-old donor.
"I wanted someone who looked a bit like me as an adult, but the main consideration was the quality of her eggs,” she said.
“This woman produces 30 at a time, and they were split between me and another woman, otherwise the cost of donation would have been double the £9,000 we actually paid.”
“I don’t want anyone to know these babies are not mine. Not my family or any of my friends. We don’t intend to tell the children, either.”

With the number of couples utilizing IVF treatment on the rise, it is possible that siblings might date, unaware of their close family relationship. As there are organizations that screen for genetic diseases, perhaps they should include a test to ensure that prospective mates do not share the same DNA.
And speaking about shidduchim, wishing the White Shul much success in their shidduch program. May we merit participating in many simchas. Click here to read about the program.
