Marie Claire Health News: Mother and baby

If you've just read Marie Claire's March issue and our feature on designer babies, focusing on the number of young American women who are risking their health, their future fertility and sometimes their lives for cash, to provide donor eggs for those who can't conceive, we'd love to hear your views.

Tell us what you think about this growing market and whether you think the process is justified by leaving your comment in the box below.

"On the other side"
Why has this been designed so negatively? Surely I know of women who have their careers then it is too late. So they the route they go down is egg donation. However 'on the other side' it is emotional trauma that 'mummies' longing to have babies for years and only go through egg donation because their only other alternative is adoption. Do an article for women on the other side who are yearning for babies and certainly not designer ones.

Does anyone ever consider the rights of the baby? There is no such thing as a right to a baby. And to 'order' of 'fabricate' a child that will never know its biological parents is a first act of a selfishness that is not easy to reconcile with good parenting. It shows these people miss the point. It is not about you, it is about the child. You may not think genetics are impootant, but your child may think differently. Also, the screening process for pre-natal adoption is virtually non-existent and carried out by people with a conflict of interests.
