Summary Sentence:

Levine in Slate Magazine

Full Summary:

Slate Magazine's article on trends in fertility practices cited Aaron Levine's study on egg-donor compensation as proof that people are willing to pay more for "smarter kids"

Slate Magazine reported: "Would people shell out big bucks for offspring with preferred traits? Yes. They already do. The evidence comes from an analysis by Aaron Levine, a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, in the Hastings Center Report. Levine documents what anecdotes have long suggested: Buyers of "donor" eggs offer more money to women who are likely to yield smarter kids."
