Such is the state of our current economic recession that “an increasing number of woman an increasing number of women are offering to sell their eggs at U.S. fertility clinics as a way to make money amid the financial crisis. Nicole Hodges, a 23-year-old actress in New York City who has been out of work since November, says she has decided to sell her eggs because she desperately needs cash.

“I’m still paying off college. I have credit card bills and, you know, rent in New York is so expensive,” Hodges, who has been accepted as donor and is waiting to be chosen by a couple, told Reuters Television.
A 2007 study by the society found the U.S. national average payment was $4,216. Payments by clinics in the Northeast were found to average just over $5,000, while those in the Northwest averaged just under $3,000.

Sadly for us guys, donating your sperm only gets you $60. So next time if any of your female friends talk about Female Inequality, tell them it sure aint fair for guys, we have to do more work to donate sperm
