They say that frm eggs, yard eggs, arfe much more healthy than those produced in a boiler-type environment. Growing up as a child in a rural area what I do remember is that those so-called farm eggs were not the pefectly white egggs that you buy from Kroger. They were more bownish, even yellow and brown. And guess what, I don't remember if they tasted better or not. Ah, but that's not the point I want to make here.

Times are tough and when the economy slows down, people do all sorts of things to make money such as selling their blood and selling their eggs- the female fertility type! :-)

Now more than ever, women are donating (selling) their eggs to make ends meet. Some say, ‘It's the economy, stupid.’ People need money now more than ever. Others say more people are waiting to procreate, so more donors are needed to meet the demand. How 'bout them eggs!

At the Center For Egg Options in Illinois, the number of women donating has increased significantly since April. "There's no reason to think that suddenly there's 30 percent more people who have suddenly had this inner feeling to help out people and what's changed, it’s the economy," said fertility specialist Ed Marut.

Across the country, fertility centers have also seen a surge in repeat donors and surrogates. A woman who passes the health and psychological screenings can get thousands of dollars in return for her donation. "The donors will make in the area of $7,000, and the surrogates will make anywhere from $20,000 to $30,000 plus," said Nancy Block, founder of the Center For Egg Options.

It's more invasive than donating sperm, but still, it's painless, and there's more time involved.

In the Valley, Dr. Bruce Shapiro at the Fertility Center of Las Vegas said compensation is closer to $3,000 to $5,000. But he said he hopes the economy is not the main reason more women are donating. “We really try to have people who donate for altruistic reasons. That's the best of all worlds. Sometimes you can't be absolutely certain. You can only be certain of what a person tells you,” Shapiro said.

Who said there's no new ways to making money in a down economy?
