Being a married man I would have no reason to bid on this doctors offer, however, I would have no qualms about writing a letter in protest to e-bay and giving them a piece of my mind and telling them how much lower they have sunk in my eyes for denying needy children this gift.
Something like this might have spread like wildfire and been a fantastic source of funds for many a charity benefiting childrens causes. Think of the doctors and Research Fellows at places like the City of Hope or the Mayo Clinic that would surely have donated their time to dine the highest bidder?
Anyone have any idea where I can direct my letter?
