eggs, scrambled a bit

I've got a new gig interviewing egg donors for the agency I donated eggs through in 2005. I'm on the lookout for intelligent, attractive women under 29, although not for the same reasons some of my readers might be ;)

In related news, the Abraham Center of Life has started some controversy by selling -- instead of the services of egg donors and surrogates -- ready-made embryos through the mail.

Pro-lifers are calling this a "brave new world," and other critics have expressed distaste for would-be parents' predilection for potentially blue-eyed, blonde-haired embryos. Here's the part that seems a little funny to me:

The Center also says that it screens egg and sperm donors for clean medical backgrounds. Recipient parents also get photos of donors as infants, and sometimes as adults. From diverse ethnic backgrounds, most male donors have doctorate degrees, and most female donors have had some college.

Er ... more women than men graduate from college these days. Why such lower standards? A PhD versus "some college"? It's not like intelligence is passed on genetically through male genes and good looks through female genes.
