I guess the problem has been, some of us have no problem using the term replacement when it comes to a child and others find it highly offensive.

Not exactly......that is a part of the discussion...but the contention is because one poster has said there is something ...I am not sure of the exact words...but sick or perverted about having more children when you have lost yours. The poster suggested they should just go on an lead a "normal" life.

Yes, the word "replacement" strikes some as offensive but far more offensive is to suggest, as this poster did, that there is something selfish and wrong about having more children.

Here's ONE quote made about this couple who lost their children and were able to have more children through in-vitro...

The three kids born to the crash mom ARE REPLACEMENTS. That woman was just as effing goofy as the OCTOMOM

What octomom did is sick.

Replacing a child that died with a new child, its a natural urge and I can understand it.

But to replace 3 children with 3 new kids all at once, thats a bit out there. RICHARD may call it sick or selfish, I call it questionable.

You really need to read the thread. She used invitro. She was older so they implanted three embryos with the hope that one would "take." That is what is done with older women. It happened that all three did. That is very unusual in a woman of her age. (I mentioned a friend of mine who is over 40 so they implanted five in hope one would take. Sadly, and far more commonly, none did.)

This couple did not, as has been stated repeatedly, attempt to have three children. That is what happened.

In case you think of the 49 year old woman. Those were not her eggs. They were the eggs of a woman in her 20's so the eggs were much more viable.

1 egg or 3, IV or turkey baster. Its replacement.

So what is questionable about it?

Or are you just desparate to not agree with me? ;-))

You allready said we agree, what is your problem?

*Edit* Figured I better quote you so you dont edit or delete.

I am glad we agree Blue.

I am just curious what is questionable to you about what they did?

IV can be risky, IV tripplets increases the risk. Ethically I would call the judgment to have 3 IV children questionable.

Oh okay. I am not a doctor so I can not speak to it. I do believe she had qualified medical care as the children were not born significantly premature. I also did not realize there to be any greater risk to an IV pregnancy than a conventionally conceived one. Multiple births do occur in conventional conception also of course.

But I do hope you understand that implanting multiple embryos in women past a certain age is standard procedure in order to achieve ONE viable pregnancy.

I do not think a coincident of them having the same number of children as they lost is reason to call them sickos, goofy or selfish.

Nor am I medically qualified to call the judgment to have three IV children questionable.

But there you have it! To you this couple's behavior is questionable...to me...it was no more questionable than any other couple giving birth to triplets.

So on that we must disagree!

[blue]

Sweet zombie Jebus let it go!

I never called anybody sick for having a child after losing a child. You dont have to be a doc to know a multiple IV pregnancy is risky.

Does all your rambling make you feel superior? Do you feel better about yourself after such a verbose outburst?
