Hey everyone, before we release our final story of the season, we wanted to share an episode

from another one of my favorite shows. This is Uncomfortable, a podcast from Marketplace.

This is Uncomfortable is hosted by Rima Kles, and they're currently back for their eighth season.

They tell stories about money, but not like financial analysis or how to say for retirement.

It's personal stories about how money impacts all parts of our lives.

The episode we've chosen for you is about the murky ethics surrounding egg donation,

and we meet someone who donated their eggs multiple times over the course of their 20s.

You can find this is Uncomfortable wherever you get your podcasts,

and we'll be back tomorrow with the final body's episode of the season.

One day, her freshman year of college, Ashley Griffin was leaving the dining hall when she saw

a poster. There was like a bulletin board that had different campus activities and clubs on them,

and there was one flyer on there that was like, become an egg donor, make up to like $10,000.

$10,000, and all you have to do is sell your eggs. It kind of blew Ashley's mind.

She was just 18. Most clinics require donors to be at least 21, so she'd have to wait.

But in the meantime, it became a bit of a running joke among her family and friends.

Yeah, a student won't suck, but it's not going to matter because I'll donate my eggs,

and then I'll get money, or like, maybe I'm not going to pass my classes, or graduate, or get

whatever job, but good news, sounds like people want her eggs.

It felt way too good to be true, an easy way to solve all of her money problems.
