My first cousin (essentially my brother) and his wife are having fertility issues. The doctor is recommending IVF (taking his sperm and fertilizing an egg before putting it back in his wife's body) and they have two options.
- use a stranger's egg
- use her sister's egg (same DNA, so it's as close as she can get to her own biological chid)
What would you do in this situation? I told him to go for the stranger because this will eventually surface in our family and his kid will one day learn that his/her aunt is also his/her biological mother. He agrees but wifey wants to use the sister anyway. How would you respond?
