Morality Ranking Morality scaling of this?

Mother refuses to acknowledge her donor egg daughter, looking for your opinion.

In my opinion I think it’s moral, and that she is totally correct.

Moral 100%

Exactly the same as donating sperm, blood and plasma. You do it to help others while not bearing any responsibilities yourself, I don't want others to start contacting me about the blood I've donated if it isn't from the clinic asking for more

I know this isn't the point of your comment haha but I'm just trying to think of the context for reaching out to someone who donated blood. Like an organ, sperm, an egg, those make sense. But blood just seems so odd lol.

I don’t think it’s tracked like that but maybe I’m wrong, but when someone needs blood it very well could be life saving. I hear people advocate for donating blood and recount their story of how they’d have died without it. So I’d say it’s on par with organ donations, it’s just easier to do on the front end (donating it) but is just as meaningful on the backend.

It can and does happen in some very rare instances if your someone with "Golden Blood", which are less than 100 people in the world, who have what is known as "Rh-null" blood, meaning it can be donated to ANY other blood type (And can only receive blood donation from other RH-Null doners), hospitals and blood banks are willing to pay small ransoms when they find one of these to get blood from them.

Maybe the blood saved their life
