LifeNews.com is a Web site adamantly opposed to embryonic stem cell research. It is describes itself as an enterprise that reaches 150,000 pro-life advocates each week through various means.
So it comes as a bit of a shock to see ads on at least one of its Web pages soliciting egg donors. One of the ad sites, Loving Donation, says it pays its egg donors a minimum of $3,000 with high demand donors commanding higher fees. The ads are placed on LifeNews.com pages automatically by Google so LifeNews.com has no direct control over them. It is also unclear whether any of the fertility clinics that advertise also supply excess eggs for research purposes.
The Google ads change regularly on Web pages so there is no guarantee that you will find them there in just the same way. But here is the link to the page where we saw them.
David,
ReplyDeleteNormally reporters attempt to contact people they report on
*before* writing on the topic. I appreciate the heads up
nonetheless.
Yes, I go through a couple of times a week and disable offensive
ads. LifeNews.com obviously does not endorse ads like the ones
mentioned in your blog.
Regards,
Steven
