This strongly depends on the agency you work with. I am in process to donate eggs thru a local university’s health program, and I have plenty of run-of-the-mill health problems like asthma. If you are interested in donating eggs, be aware that there ARE things you wouldn’t think of that could disqualify you, but also make sure you’re not working with an agency that would disqualify you because your genetics aren’t superhuman. There are some seedy (imo) agencies that claim that all of their donors are models with Ivy League diplomas and flawless family/health histories. That simply does not exist, and a good agency will make sure to be aware of the issues you do have in order for the prospective parents to be fully informed.

Not sure if I may have jumped in too late here, but I live very close to the res you live on (I'm assuming) and have a few close friends who are Native (Navajo and Apache, I believe). Growing up very close to the Navajo community has been enlightening for me in a lot of ways, and I love what I've seen of res culture. So I was wondering, what's one thing you wish everyone would know about the culture you grew up in (whether specific to your res or Navajo culture or anything)? Thanks!

Not all men have penises, and not all people with penises are men. “People with penises” works great for medical professionals talking about bodies that are often if not always coded as male.

these dogs can surprise you and do some damage even if they are usually kind and sweet 99.9% of the time.

given this criteria, this can happen with literally any dog.

I know this is late but I figured I'd add it anyways. Considering the extreme Anti-Communist view that America had attained during times of conflict with the USSR, how did Jones convince so many people to join his movement willingly? Was it out-and-out stated that Jones was pro-Communist/wanted to work with N Korea and the USSR? Did everyone there support Communist ideals? Was there blowback when they were based in CA?
I'm just wondering because even now, I was raised to believe that the word (and ideas of) "Communism" was bad. To this day, I realize that Communism is political and not necessarily evil or anything, but it still has a bad connotation in conversation and in my head. It's weird to think that he got so many people to commit so totally to something labeled with the word "communist". Thank you so much.
