"Your Gamete, Myself" Response

If when I am ready to have children, but was not able to, I don't know whether I would choose to adopt or using an egg donor. I think using an egg donor is great, but that is like having someone else's child. By either adopting or using an egg donor, I would not be able to have my own child which would be horrible. I think that the women who chose to use an egg donor should tell their child when they are old enough to understand. I think it is wrong to keep such an important part of their life away from them. The older women get, I still don't think it is right for them to use an egg donor to have children. Because they are older, they are not able to give the care and attention young children need which is not fair to them. I have mixed feelings about using an egg donor, depending on the situation. I think it is something great, that helps many families who are able to have children who have longed for them, if they complete the process in the right way. I also believe adoption is a great way to raise children too. They are able to live a healthy life in which they are truly cared for by people that love them, which they might have not been able to have from their birth parents. In conclusion, I don't think that having a child from an egg donor should be something that should be hidden. The children have every right to know and it could only help them.
