Good SAT Scores Lead To Higher Egg Donor Prices

alphadogg writes "Analysis from Georgia Institute of Technology of college newspaper egg donor ads showed that higher payments offered to egg donors correlated with higher SAT scores. 'Holding all else equal, an increase of 100 SAT points in the score of a typical incoming student increased the compensation offered to oocyte donors at that college or university by $2,350,' writes researcher Aaron D. Levine in a paper published in the March-April issue of the Hastings Center Report. Concerned about eggs being treated as commodities, and worried that big financial rewards could entice women to ignore the risks of the rigorous procedures required for harvesting, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine discourages compensation based on donors' personal characteristics. The society also discourages any payments over $10,000."

If they offer you $35,000 for all of your eggs, take the offer.

I have VERY high SAT scores

[natehoy]

I called them and asked about what their going rate was for a high-SAT scorer like me, and they offered me $12,000!

Things went badly when I asked if the eggs had to be organic, and what size they should be, and was styrofoam OK or did they prefer paper cartons. Oh, and when they found out I was a guy.

Sexist bastards.

Cha-Ching!

Each woman has two ovaries with 300,000 eggs each. At $35,000 per egg, that's $21-billion per woman. You'd think more women would cash in on this.

I'm amused that they didn't pick up on that until you actually had to tell them you were a guy. ;-)

JJ's Fertility and SAT Cram Course

[NicknamesAreStupid]

It seems ironic that women of higher learning who might, as some suggest, fund their education from their ovaries, would need to go to a fertility clinic after their successful education and careers that kept them way from the maternity ward until their 30s or 40s.

It depends. How long is your SAT? If it's over 10 inches then yes.
