Can I sell them on EBay????

I love to read the paper in the morning. Sit down, eat breakfast and try to ignore my children while I focus on something other than "She's touching me" or "If I wanted to spell 'excellent sentence' - how would I spell that?".

This morning was no different (except that Steve was also trying to do the same thing - he's just not as good at ignoring them). An article I read made me stop and actually have a conversation.

According to the National Institutes of Health, scientists now can use fertility clinic left-over embryos for stem cell research. I have left over embryos. I read this to Steve and he said (with that twinkle in his eye) "Now can we sell them on EBay?".

We actually had a discussion about the difference between me selling my eggs as an egg donor (which I have not done - but others do) and me selling our embryos for research.

Thoughts??? Would you donate your left overs? Sell them?? Put them on EBay? (Would EBay totally take that down??) :)
