response to "Your Gamete, Myself"

I personally think that if people are unable to conceive or whatever that they should adopt rather than get an egg donor. It costs so much money to get a donor and to adopt. So if someone is going to spend tons of moeny to get a child, why not save a littl child's life or give a child a good home instead of just creating a brand new child. So many children are orphans and it seems cruel to use and egg donor knowing there are so many children that need to be adopted. I understand that maybe they want to see a resemblence of the child in the family or make it easier on the child to be birthed into a family instead of just brought into one. However there are many young children and babies that need to be adopted that would most likely have a better time going into a new family than not having a family at all. Also there is no guarantee the child will look anythign like the parents so why not adopt anyway. I dont know i know there are some reasons that are personal or whatever i jsut think that knowing there are so many children out there that need homes, why not invest in giving them a good life and home instead of just making a new child.
