Donor dilemma

I am in a dilemma. A colleague who is looking for a donor egg has asked me if I would mind donating. I had spoken to V earlier about it but he was against it. So I have told her I will consult him before giving an answer.
Since she is no great pal of mine, I dont feel morally obliged to donate - it is not the feeling that I am giving away my 'child' that is bothering me, the hassle and pain of the treatment that a donor will have to undergo puts me off. Hormonal injections, anaesthesia, visits to clinic, time away from work and my kids etc. But her helplessness makes me feel sympathetic.
p.s. It is my brother's bday today.
