Donors get money.
Couples get babies. Next to them is a stunning view of Los Angeles, but they ignore the scenery. Instead, they silently review the contents of a half-dozen manila folders, then sort the folders into two piles. The couple are visiting the Center for Surrogate Parenting and Egg Donation to select the genetic mother of their child. Each of the folders they are examining contains a photo of a fertile woman willing to donate her eggs to a stranger.
