My partner and I want to have a baby. We want to use her egg but I would carry the child. I know for some this sounds very odd but we want to know if we used my brother's sperm and my girlfriend's egg. Can we do that? Some people say we can't because it would still have my blood mixing with my brother, but I've heard of sisters being surrogates for their brother.

What you are describing would be no problem at all, and is actually quite common in the lesbian community. (One partner carrying the other's eggs...this way both get a "tie" to the baby)
There is no problem using your brothers sperm and your partner's eggs. The baby would be your biological niece/nephew. This is the exact same situation as a sister lending her eggs for an IVF procedure to another sister. No problem at all.
You are very lucky to have such a wonderful brother.
