Selling Genius DNA

[IdesOmarch]

Anyone have any experience with donors? And this whole process? This is actually my SO's idea. (And I am really not trying to be pretentious with this thread, this is serious so no flames please, unless you have something funny and snarky to say which is OK.)

I am in the process of starting this, I think. My child is testing genius level, I haven't taken an IQ test in a while, but it should test at a minimum high IQ. But my resume/list of qualifications is extensive, I won't list my degrees, but I have the equivalent of a PHD, both degrees from my home state's primary colleges, classical piano player and there are other things I won't list to keep the pretentiousness of this thread down to a minimum.

One question is, if you were in the market would you prefer a quality list of qualifications with your sample, or would you prefer anonymous, or would you only do it through someone you knew personally?

I hear the money can be quite good, so this is what perked my interest, and SO's she is always about the $$$$ .

Does anyone know anyone that makes money doing this? Do you know any quality fertility clinics and/or agencies that do this? I have found a few online, but I am thinking about going through one of my doctors and finding some clinic in Beverly Hills or something. Thanks for indulging me.

You have got to be kidding me.

Hey, I'm pretty bright in my own right and come from healthy stock. Maybe we could join forces and sell the offspring. We could make a fortune!

Personally, I'd want to see how you look in a pair of heels first. IMO if you're making a selection this important for your child's future, get the important stuff out of the way before the minor issues.

Women I hear can get up to $50,000 for eggs, but there is a down side with women, it has to be done through surgery, men have no problem with this.

Oh I was totally going to look into this, as my whole families IQ's test well into the genius levels, but as I was backing my Bentley down the drive I accidentally ran over my crate of degree's from Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and BYU. (I was int the process of moving it from the west wing to the east wing when Oprah stopped by for a chat (unannounced. So annoying!) and I set it down because it was SO heavy. Lot's in there and all that. I forgot all about it and left in the drive. Good thing I have that other crate full of all my other Phd's.)
So I went into my mansion to get the keys to my other Bentley (I'll donate the other to Goodwill later now that it has a scratch) and found my Nanny ironing my money in the front room. She was only ironing a million and it was taking her FOREVER. I told her it was inappropriate for her to be doing that in the front room, that's what the servants quarters were for, and she should have been wrapped up with it by now. It was only a million. Sheesh! So hard to find good help.
Anyway, my kids were working on their Nobel prize winning experiment in the Chem. lab. (Nothing special, just a fuel alternative of which the by product has been proven to cure cancer...and poverty) and they told me that the stupid Nanny had neglected to feed them lunch! The nerve! They are professional athletes and will be participating in the upcoming olympics, they need nutritional meals served in a timely manner. I immediately called my chef to go into the kitchen and prepare them a fresh 100% organic and local meal. It was taking him forever because the cow wouldn't stand still and he's such a bad shot. I'd fire him too, but he makes a good margarita.
So by the time the kids were eating and I was finished admonishing all the help, it was past noon and I had to prepare for my swimsuit shoot with sports illustrated, so I never did get to go find out about selling genius DNA.
Let me know what you find out. I could really use the money to fund my husbands campaign fund when he runs for President next year.
(I hope he doesn't get elected though...that White house is soooo Old and puny! And it's NOT in a good school district.)

I said it had to be funny, that's not really funny.

BTW I'm not making this up, I am in the process of contacting cryo banks now. Its an anonymous message board, you have no idea who I really am, so why would I make this up? Its not like you're a girl on a date and I'm trying to impress you, this is for real.

Well I generally have much sharper wit, but I just wrapped up with a 12 hour brain surgery and the entire time I was performing the surgery (on a nun) the Donald was blowing up my phone with texts. I guess he needs to borrow money again.
*sigh*

Sorry, but I doubt that anyone who has a real genius IQ would spend their time here

I spend time here because I love Disney and Universal and this is a fun, large message board. Sure, I guess you're right, no smart people go to Disney ugh?

Very very funny. Thank you!!!

I am crying right now. Thanks for the laugh!

Ouch...defensive!
No need to take it personally...most of your posts seem to fall on the humorous side. I wouldn't have made fun if I knew you couldn't take it. Lesson learned.

*and you don't know me either. Maybe I am a multimillionaire living in a mansion with a nanny and genius kidlets. Maybe I just pretend to be a professional owie kisser and hiney wiper for the glamour! Doling out cheerios and cruising the carpool line are pretty fascinating.

I can take it, I said its ok to be funny or snarky, since I expected to get that anyway, I was just hoping to get a few posters to get some serious feed back on this.

And yes I realize it is slightly amusing too, but I am really doing this. I do have 1 issue with my medical history that I am hoping is not a deal breaker. I have a condition that I am finding out is pretty low probability to pass on to offspring anyway, but I don't know yet, it may be a deal killer for my DNA. My situation (condition) is not serious with me, but some people that have this condition it can be quite devastating.

Oh, no, I think we can be a pretty smart bunch.....If you read my post I wrote real genius. There's a difference between smart and genius.

I just don't see people with 1Qs of 180+ spendig their time here...but maybe that's just me.

I'd pay top dollar for Einstein's DNA but not for someone's little snowflake's who scored high on an IQ test at age 8.
How old did you say your dd was? If you are thinking of selling your genius DNA, maybe you should list all the things your offspring has accomplished, that may change people's opinions.

Thank you for being serious. She is only 4, but the types of tests they can do at her age she is testing very high. I took IQ tests years ago and it was high, I don't remember what, I am guessing I'll have to take new ones. But from what I hear so far its not only about IQ. Resume, talents etc., can be big factors since people look at that. And I do think musical ability can be passed down to offspring, etc.

Yes...please do.
