Gosh. Can anyone tell me why they should *not* sell their eggs if they want to? I mean, they belong to them, don't they? Or have I missed something about egg selling?

Would you object to me selling my kidney?
Remember, that selling implies a buyer and a market. With supplies such as these (kidneys, not eggs) in extremely small quantities, it makes sense that the prices would only permit the richest to participate. That's not always the same group as the most deserving, or the most likely to benefit, or those for whom the benefit will be the greatest.
I can't sell my blood, either, and that's much less "rare" than kidneys. Interestingly, I can sell my blood plasma.
I guess I'm ok with it--you can sell your eggs, Elspode.
edit: changed "can see my blood plasma" to "can sell my blood plasma". Both are true and one is marginally less irrelevant.
