eggcelent

"apply to become egg donor. help an infertile couple! $8,000 compensation for time and effort. healthy females age 21 to 32 can apply up to five times"

this was an ad i encountered on facebook this evening while checking my profile. it was accompanied by a photo of a woman holding her pregnant torso. here i was looking at my friends' updates and writing random messages on their walls when this ad was served on my screen. when they say, 'apply up to five times', does that mean that you can be rejected four times and still provide your dna to some loving couple wanting children? i consider myself on the more-responsible end of the single 23 year-olds of the world and i'm frightened at the prospect of this.
