DARWIN'S ANGELS? Playboy filmmaker and soft-porn entrepreneur Ron Harris' website got more than 5 million hits its first day of business. His commodity? Eggs harvested from models for in-vitro fertilization. The auction could be a fraud, but if people want models, they should get the best. We asked fertility clinics what characteristics clients look for in donors and rated models to see whose eggs would be best.
