GO AND MAKE THE BEST BABY MONEY CAN BUY. http:// www.ronsangels.com Match the egg of a female beauty and fertilize it with the sperm of a male beauty. And you got a SUPERBABY, who is beautiful, brainy, brawny, & has all the necessary ingredients to attend Harvard, become an Einstein, a president or anything else you may wish for. Choose the color of the eyes and the hair and the IQ. Hey you are in business. Try your luck for the best baby money can buy. What if the baby has the body of Einstein and the brain of a bubblehead? Being the clone of the Monkey God, I sure don't qualify to donate. Thank God , that is one worry off my mind. Young women selling their eggs on the internet Prospective parents seeking the perfect child are being invited to bid for the eggs of beautiful young women on the Internet. The website http:// www.ronsangels.com is the brainchild of 66-year-old Ron Harris, a former fashion photographer and film maker. In the US-based site, the basis of which would be completely illegal in Britain, people are asked to submit bids in increments of 1,000 dollars for the egg of their choice, for use in surrogate parency. Bids start at between 15,000 and 150,000, depending on the woman, eight of whom are advertised on the site. Choices are made on the basis of photographs, plus information such as vital statistics and the age of a parent and grandparent. One 25-year-old brunette, with a price tag of at least 30,000, reveals she has a 34B bust, a 79-year-old grandmother, and wants the money to "not be dependent on a man". All the money goes to the donor, with a 20% "fee" on top being paid to Harris. Purchasers then also have to fund all medical bills to fertilise and implant the egg. The models advertised are all young and conventionally very attractive. A page on the site seeking more donors stipulates applicants must be "beautiful, healthy and between 18-30 years old". The website takes a decidedly evangelical approach to the notion of beauty, which Harris describes on the site as "its own reward". In a lengthy sales pitch Harris stresses what he sees as the paramount importance of physical beauty. "Just watch television and you will truly comprehend how important beautiful genes are to our evolution," he writes. "This is Darwin's 'Natural Selection' at its very best. The highest bidder gets youth and beauty. He adds: "It is not my intention to suggest that we make a super society made of only beautiful people. This site simply mirrors our current society, in that beauty always goes to the highest bidder. And those with money might soon be able to control both ends of the reproductive process. Another section of the website - currently only available to members paying fees - auctions the sperm of male beauties, perhaps to match the model eggs.
