In this chapter, I discuss the intimate relationship between egg donation and the precarious labor market in Spain. Drawing on participants’ stories, I argue that the common dichotomy of altruism versus economic motivation is not useful for understanding how egg donors make sense of their actions. While altruism plays a role in how donors articulate and frame their narratives, economic compensation appears as the primary driver for undergoing a donation. This dichotomous framework has effects beyond discursive practices and materializes in participants’ stories as feelings of ambivalence, guilt, and shame. It highlights the gendered expectations for women to be altruistic rather than financially motivated, which is also promoted by the clinics’ discourse. In examining the stories of my participants with egg donation, I argue that most of them draw on a common source: the precarious labor market in Spain in its different ramifications.
