Hmm

4/9/2010: From KVAL:

A new study found Oregon State University women are paid more for their eggs than women at the University of Oregon.

To find intelligent young women, fertility clinics often advertise in college newspapers. Georgia Tech studied those ads at 306 schools and found that Oregon State University women were offered $5,000 for their eggs while women at the University of Oregon were offered a thousand dollars less. … 

But some questioned the ethics. “It’s an undue inducement for a poor student and it begins to really commodify the process,” said Dr. Susan Tolle who heads the Center for Ethics in Health Care at Oregon Health and Science University. …

So, it’s more ethical to pay poor students less. Very interesting.
