Women’s Oocytes for Sale!

Women’s Eggs For Sale:

This is more of womens’ greed to get rich through sly self-exploitation methods rather than poverty which is behind the latest Oocyte Sale Scandal in New Delhi, India. Indian Schoolgirls and College students are not being victimised, they are willing victims by choice ! Otherwise how would you explain such irrational actions by educated women offering Oocyte Harvesting through Hormone Injections, for sale at high prices for Childless Couples ? The going price for such Womens’ Eggs are anything between Rs.50,000 to over Rs.1,00,000. Well, who is the exploiter? and who are the exploited?

How Oocytes Are Sold:

Plainly speaking, Oocyte is an immature ovum or egg cell which sexually mature women produce as part of their monthly life’s reproductive cycle. Now in New Delhi’s shady clinics where these unscrupulous but educated, healthy and pretty women go to make a fast buck there is a compensatory action of self-praise. Yes, they are all doing this for a good cause–helping childless couples have a baby. In over-populated India adoption would have been a much better solution but then Indians are far too narrow minded about such issues. The woman wanting to sell her egg is normally given an intra-muscular hormone injection to develop the eggs for Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation leading to eventual transfer to receipient’s uterus through a Catheter after in-vitro fertilisation with donor’s sperm. The eggs form in about 7-days during which period they are continually monitored and another injection called hCG is administered for removal of the mature eggs. After 10-days the woman-donor will continue to have her normal menstrual cycle.

Effect On Women Donor’s Health:

Very often avarice brings these young get-rich-by-night-egg-donors for a second and even third sale! The long run effect on the health of the woman can be serious. She may develop Ovarian cysts and even Cancer. Some hereditary abnormalities of the donor egg may  lead to problems in babies born out of such in-vitro fertlisations. One cannot rule out psychological problems in the women donors’ future married life as well. How would she react if she were to run into into one of these kids at a later occasion? In India where people are downright silly and sentimental for all the wrong reasons such situations can cause complicated problems leading to social unrest.

India, the Source Of All Evils?

Just as Indians the world over are imagining themselves to be culturally superior over their neighbours and their Western counterparts, more and more such dirt keeps coming up. First it was Rent-A-Womb Surrogate Motherhood for a price, then Oxytocin Injections to convert Five-year Old Girls into 21-year old sexually mature women for the oldest profession,then honour killings, then sexual exploitation of Sportswomen by their over the hill Male Coaches, then Kickbacks for rundown sports complexes courtsey: The Commonwealth Games, then Superbugs Made In India, and now Schoolgirls Selling Oocytes! Hey, where are all the religious heads–the Babas? the Sri Sris? the Swamis? the Matajis? the Bapus? the Moulavis? the Bishops? the Saints? As a perennially corrupt nation of exploiters of the have-nots India has reached a new low in values and morality while reaching a Super High in greed and avarice. Our craze for the foreign tag is taking our children to USA and Australia for getting stupid Certificates in Tailoring and Cooking while driving taxis and cleaning toilets for the extra money, and in the process getting beaten up as well. We must be a shameless lot to crowd foreign shores in this unwanted manner while our own nation goes to the dogs. Selling of oocytes by women in New Delhi, the Capital of India also known as the Rape Capital and Dupe Capital, is a social evil which we can definitely stop, if only the Women Social Activists like Vandana Shiva, Medha Patkar, Shabana Azmi, Shobha De and Arundhati Roy come forward.
