I agree with you. It is great that we have these technologies available to us and that women/couples who desperately want to have children have a chance but I think the case of these octuplets is a gross abuse of those technologies. I realize the moral dilemma of selective reduction, it's a very difficult choice to make, the same as terminating a pregnancy due to trisomy whatever. But human beings are not made to carry a litter! I think it's ridiculous that she is holding her hand out for donations, it's one thing when a hurricane flattens your house it's another when you choose to put yourself in such a position. She chose it when she went back for more IVF, when she had 6+ embryos implanted, when she didn't reduce the pregnancy to 1 or 2 or even 3 babies. She has likely sentenced those 8 babies to lifelong health issues and disabilities. And that's if they survive the coming weeks and months. And the taxpayers are left footing the bill. She actually thinks she doesn't collect welfare? She must be crazy. Jon and Kate Plus 8 and 18 Kids and Counting are glorifying it all. I will not be surprised when that channel picks up the Suleman Story and makes a reality series out of it. I think this woman is incredibly greedy and selfish not to mention insane. I could go on and on, the injustice of this with respect to my situation and other babylost mothers infuriates me.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338130051182407335noreply@blogger.com
