I do think this woman is looney for having so many kids... but what about the Dr's responsibility in this?

She has 6 kids and goes in for fertility treatments and GETS it? Someone on another board compared it to someone with no pain going in to get pain drugs and getting them.

and I'm not claiming to know much about fertility treatments but I do know a few people who have had them done and I'm really curious how she ended up with EIGHT viable eggs. From what I hear any responsible dr will not implant more than 3 eggs TOPS. So did these eggs REALLY divide that many times or did she get WAY too many eggs.

I say THAT's the kind of stuff that should be "controlled" if we are talking about controlling peoples actions. Stop these Dr's that do this. But I am certainly not about to jump on the mandatory "spaying" of women bandwagon. That's a little ridiculous to me.

I don't agree with what this woman did... it's the kids that are going to suffer. but I'm not about to demand a one child per family law. this IS America isn't it?

And the doctors who wash their hands and say it is not their responsibility to tell a woman how many children she can have make me sick.

Look Sparky! We agree on this!

That's the $64,000 question. We have not yet heard from her original doctor. Her mother said, a day or so ago, that all her pregnancies were the result of IVF. She also said that there were 8 embryos remaining, and all of them were implanted. Since there are no more embryos, one could possible hope that she will have no more children.

There was a discussion on t.v. among some medical experts where they agreed it borders on medical malpractice to implant 8 embryos. The dangers to the mother and babies is astronomical, and even tho the odds of all 8 "taking" would be slim, it happened in this case.

Here is a good article about the ethics of Drs. who would implant that many
embryos in anyone.

sparks: I read that her mother said there were fewer than eight implanted embryos. She stated to the media that the eggs divided.

I also read that she told the doctor she had no more children. I believe it was in the Whittier newspaper.
