Terry McMillan writes about egg donation
|
Posted By: Ziggy Jones on August 13, 2005 In her latest novel, The Interruption of Everything”, pages 102-103- Ms. Terry has her lead character Marilyn Grimes, age 44, discuss the possibility of egg donation with her doctor. “There are still ways you can conceive with little risk if you’d like to try again,” I hear her say as if she truly believed that I tried this time. “Try again?” “With donor eggs. Didn’t I read that you had a sister?” “Yes, I do.” “How old is she?” “Twenty-six.” “Terrific. Do you think she’d be willing to give you some of her eggs if you wanted to try again?” “I wouldn’t want any of her eggs. If anybody’s eggs are chromosomally deficient, it’d be hers.” (The character’s sister is her foster sister, Joy, who is anything but and the mother of 2 baybay kids!!) Until now we have not heard much about egg donation in the Black press, now it seems like it is hitting the print media. A recent article has also appeared in the August 2005 edition of Ebony magazine. There are many Black women who don’t even know that having a child through egg donation is a possibility. It is also not widely known that at least 15 states now require your medical insurance to cover some of the cost of fertility treatments; this can include Invitro Fertilization or IVF with donor eggs. We hope these brief mentions in the printed media will make egg donation more commonly known to a larger segment of the Black community.
