From the WSJ.....I didn't make this one up really:
Here's another sign of the tough economic times: Some clinics are reporting a surge in the number of women applying to donate eggs or serve as surrogate mothers for infertile couples.
The going rate for a surrogate is about $25,000. Egg donors generally receive $3,000 to $8,000. But a few agencies advertise that they'll pay much more for specific characteristics. One ad running in campus newspapers promises $25,000 for a donor who is "100% Jewish with ... High SAT Scores... Attractive, at Healthy Body Weight and Free of Genetic Diseases."
"We're even getting men offering up their wives. It's pretty scary."

What if the person got lucky when she took her SATs? Can you get your money back if the baby is not "smart" enough.
I am not sure how to take the last sentence.....if you want me to rate your wife, just post her picture, preferably in sheer lingerie......just kidding......better leave that one alone.
Crazy times.....but then again.....better to live in interesting times,,,,,cheers.
