I don't know if someone posted about this in another forum, but I couldn't find one so I thought I'd start one!http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090131/...e_us/octuplets

What do you all think about the mother who gave birth to octuplets recently?

My first impression was, Wow! She is going to have her hands full, and that must have been one heck of a pregnancy! But then I learned of a few more details. I know that the media have a tendency to slant thinks, and "facts" are never "facts" in the media. Anyway, the mother (Nadya) has six other children, one of whom is autistic. I understand those who want large families, but this woman also filed for bankruptcy last year, and receives government assistance to care for her children as well as to attend school.

Don't get me wrong-- I'm not against helping those in need, but in my opinion she is being absolutely ridiculous because she obviously can't afford the six she had, so she undergoes more invitro for more?? I don't think it's right on her part, and they don't know who the fertility doctor is yet, but I also don't think he is in his right mind.

Anyway, what do you all think? Should Nadya have been allowed to undergo the fertility treatment that conceived these eight new babies, and do you think that she should be allowed more, if she decides to take that route??
