I thought Mom was making a gift to her daughter of eggs should she need them in the future. If she were to choose the surrugate route she will already have the donor eggs (reducing the cost of the process), and some familial connection. Sounds like her siblings are too young to do this for her now.

Although if the condition is hereditary and not spontaneous, perhaps she should seek out unrelated eggs.

And to the other poster, my kids have my husband’s last name, not mine. Not all women change their last names upon marriage. Wasn’t a political statement, just wasn’t interested in doing it.

You two are the only ones on this thread that I agree with so far.

The mother is giving a gift to her child. If I were able and if it were necessary, I’d do the same thing for my daughter. And I’d give the gift selflessly and completely. The daughter has a choice whether or not to accept the gift when she’s an adult. She may choose not to, but she may be happy that she has the option.

In the end, I don’t think that it’s any of my business what these people do to procreate. And i certainty don’t think that it’s “sick” any more than it’s “sick” for one sister to donate eggs to another.

A couple of months ago, my own daughter suffered a horrible miscarriage. At the time, there were fears that she’d not be able to have her own children. This is a young woman who’s wanted nothing more than to have babies. To be a mom. At the time, her aunt told her that she’d donate if necessary. It turns out that it probably won’t be, but it was a serious comfort to my daughter to know that she had options and lessened her fear and pain considerably. (I’d have volunteered myself, but it’s physically not possible.)

I never understood why many pro-family FReepers who love life so much are so negative to good people who want to make babies. And what about liberty? The freedom to choose how to live one’s own life?
