Don't make another moog, buddy.

Don't make another moog, buddy.

Only if you give me some money. I've a big mooger.

Sometimes I'm a shaker too--though it's not always my fault, then I just quake in my boots.

In any case, some clinics ignore the guidelines and pay $15,000 or
more for a cycle of superovulation.

I suspect that they pay that much...
BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO!

Seeing how $15,000 is sort of toward the low end of what childless
couples offer for a good egg in the classified adverts
of some university student newspapers.
(e.g., UCLA)
IIRC, I think I saw one advertized offer of $50,000...
of course, that was probably with the expectation that the
donor was a Rhodes Scholar and had offers to pose in Playboy.

So you're saying you do put all your eggs in one basket?

[moog]

So you're saying you do put all your eggs in one basket?

Only if I'm a basket case, which is about half the time. I have to always count my chicken before they've hatched because they're not always all cracked up what they're supposed to be and I have to shell out the dough, kind of like when I put clams in my breadmixer.

You sound moogy.

[moog]

"You sound moogy."

I've never been mooged before so I wouldn't know. But some nights do get pretty moogy here, especially on a hot summer night.

[writer33]

Now we've officially mooged this thread, whether or not it's moogy where you are.

It's moogic to my ears.

Why is this guy working with human eggs when he is or was a professor of Veterinary Medicine at SNU College of Veterinarian Medicine?

[TigerLikesRooster]

Re #31

He did work on cloning animals, first and then ventured out to human stem cell research.

Thanks Tiger!

The ASRM guidelines set the $5,000 limit on the grounds that "the higher the payment, the greater the possibility that women will discount risks."

So they paid too much? What is this - a Midas commercial?

Careful, you might end up with a situation like this. Warning: Adult situations and humor.
