Have you read about the scheme to market the eggs of drop-dead gorgeous
babes on the web? Supermodel eggs! They ain't cheap, babe. The minimum
bid one model set is $50 grand.
What are the pros and cons of this? Is it ethical? Would you sell one of
your eggs (sorry guys)? And if you would, what price do you think it
would fetch? Do brains count at all? Or just looks?
And what will the offspring be like? Will they pop outa the womb with
silicon implants in place already? And capped teach and windblown hair?
And what's the next logical step? Why, I'll answer that. A night with
the supermodel herself. And, as someone says, will the supermodel babies
grow up and sport bumper stickers on their cars that say:
"My other Mom is a Supermodel"
Discuss. Talk among yourselves.

Why is it silly?
There's a woman named Ellen Greve from Australia that started a dietary
movement called "breatherianism" where you don't need to eat food at all.
Just inhale. She claims she's been on the air diet for 5 years. Which is
sillier? Eating air or buying supermodel eggs? Which is more real?

that's just insane and don't have anything to do with the other in my opinion. her not eating only affects her, not others. but selling your eggs. the only way she'd give up eggs is if someone buys them. so this affects other people not to mention the possible child involved.
what is the purpose of selling their eggs? the same as men who "donate" sperm?

I think it's ridiculous to pay that much money on the hopes that you might have an attractive child. I've known some really good-looking people who have some UGLY kids, and I've also known some really intelligent people who have some really dumb kids. I'd be disappointed and not to mention P.O.ed if I paid that much money and got an ugly kid without a brain in its head.

Not that I would pay that much money to buy anyone's egg--I'll take my own little smart-mouthed redheaded brats! If I had to get an egg donor, though, it wouldn't be a supermodel by any means.

What qualities are we teaching our children by doing this. You're okay, but not as cute or as bright or as lovely as if we had bought you from some made-to-order baby place?! This should be tied to the human genetics place on SpringArk. It is disgusting and without merit as far as I can see. It continues to stress beauty over quality of character. Keep those people as far away from me as possible. Of course, some of us have gorgeous kids anyway...despite the way we look. Recessive genes says it all.

But then, I know there's people who'd pay a lot NOT to have been born ugly. If they are rich enough, they get the lips-, nose- and whathave-ya-jobs. A supermodel-egg is cheap, compared to that...
I mean, hey, what's the use in drivin' a Testostarossa if your kid's looks let you down...! Can't have that, embarrassed rich dudes are bad for the economy...

Ask Gi, our resident Plastic Surgeon. One could do a lot of remedial work done for $50,000 US. Cannot believe how much I would like to comfort the parents of ugly children, but I have never seen one I thought was ugly. Parents were ugly, but never the kids (remove tongue from cheek now, Dear !)

And! There's the bonus round for aging super-rich blokes, listen - this is the plan:
(1) Buy loads of supermodel eggs; buy by whose models looks you personally find arrousing (as in: makes you HOT!).
(2) Look for some good-looking sperm-donor with just suffcient brains (i.e. not a big load, ok?).
(3) Cross-breed, have the fetusses caried out by some fourth-world rentawomb-girls.
(4) Have them raised, boarding schools in England or Switzerland...
(5) Wait twenty years, divorce the current wife (probably the third already) and voil� - there you go:
You own HOMEMADE supermodel companion (just don't tell them she/he is just one of a batch on standby...) - exchange as you like: "It's Monday - that'll call for some Cindy. Oh, and for the dinner on Saturday, I'm gonna drag my Claudia out again..."
I mean, look at all the rich guys, they all exchange their wifes for their secretary when the turn forty - admitted, some have scruples and wait till they're fifty. And at sixty or later, they usually buy themselves something nice and young to look at. Isn't that what being rich is all about?
OK, the downside is, you get 50% males and 50% females out of your batch production. But then, hey, you never know if your sexual preferences might change or not, and you could sell, arh, swap, - wait, now I got it: - SHARE the surplus with your super-rich friends.

I don't. I think it is far more healthy as a start for obtaining a baby than putting down $50,000...

So how about the "breed your own supermodel-lover"-idea? Will it catch on with the rich? Should I try to open a franchise in that line?
~MarciaH
Thu, Nov 4, 1999 (17:35)
#19
Oh yes, it will catch on if you have a high-profile couple as your first customers and market it carefully to target the gullible and far-roo-wealthy.
Culling the eggs should be the interesting part. How do you plan to go about this little delicate endeavor?

He's gonna need a website first!

But ours will have a twist, ours come with hash browns and toast. We're
going to need a volunteer (Alexander?) to go to the supermodel henhouse in
the morning to gather the eggs. And will they be free range eggs?
And we're going to need a site to produce good ol' boy sperm, naturally.
So (with an idea borrowed from Kelso) gooberbabies.com for your offspring
who can be predisposed to do brake jobs, small engine repair, air
conditioning repair, etc.

I think the big question here is whether there will be the kind of male sperm that can keep up with dynamite female eggs....

Yep, with our supermodeleggs.com and our gooberbabies.com sperm you can
have a supermodel that does brake jobs, remodeling, plumbing repairs and
small engine tuneups. Can it get any better than this?

Will there be an alternate site for those who want supermodels who can find a cure for cancer? solve complex scientific problems? write the great American novel? You know some people want nothing more than to say their child is a genius.
