Due to medical issues there is no way she can unless someone donates an egg.
She wants it to be you because child would still be her family genetically.

That's a really big call there, on one hand you want to be nice and help her out and on the other hand you will always know that you helped make it and it's not yours, tough call wish you luck

This is all good, if you have a close family bond with your sister, and if the two of you have a great understanding on what type of pressure this could put on your relationship as sisters. If this blessing occurs, family or no, legal papers should be arranged for the baby's sake. It would be easy to believe that everything would be OK over time, and for some unknown reason it turns out differently. If that were to happen, the baby would be the one hurt more in disagreements. Wish you two luck and may God bless. Say a prayer to get your answer.

I would do it.
As long as she is a good person who should have children. I would want her to have the opportunity. And your genes and hers are so close as sisters that it might as well be her own.
Obviously the child will be special to you too, and that is fine. But you will have to be willing to let go of control as the child will be theirs, and that may be hard.
The egg(s) you give her will just die and be flushed away if you don't give them to her. So you are loosing nothing that would already be your child....doesn't she deserve the joy of motherhood too?
What better gift could a sister give. I hope your heart is big enough to share and give this piece of yourself to your sis.

I would do it without a moments pause. My sisters are my best friends and I love them deeply. I would do anything for them. Donate an egg. Be a surrogate. Take a bullet.
But that's just me. I'm fiercely loyal to my friends and family. But what's right for me, may not be necessarily right for everyone. It's a personal opinion and decision.

I think it would be great. Why not? People go to greater lengths to give someone the gift of a child.. even carrying the baby for other people.. So why not give her an egg? I'd be happy to do it, and I would have a greater connection with my neice or nephew.. I'd be the best Aunt ever. lol

I would, especially to my sister. My sister and her husband were having trouble getting pregnant because he had leukemia in college, so they thought he wouldn't be able to have any children, and now they have 2 (not because of me), but I would do that for her in a heartbeat! The fact of the matter is that it's not YOUR egg nor are you actually having sex with her husband, so you can't call it your child, you're just the incubator, so to speak.

Tough question.
My wife and I discussed this when her sister was having trouble conceiving, and we decided that it would really be no big deal. She (we) would feel a special bond with that child, and have "absolute favorite aunt" status for the rest of her life, but there is no question that the child would be her niece/nephew, not daughter/son

I chose not to have children many years ago, but when my sister had trouble conceiving, I offered to be a surrogate. It didn't happen, but I would have done it, no questions asked. So, of courese, I would donate an egg.

It would be hard knowing that it was my egg, tech my child, yet being a mother that would be the best gift I could give my sister, and would feel honored she asked me and not some one else.

I would do it. I don't want any kids of my own, due to the nature of my lifestyle and job... but to be able to leave a legacy behind (I know it sounds selfish) I would love that. I even offered to be a surrogate for friends of mine who were having trouble conceiving.
If this is a serious question, I urge you to do it... what better gift?
