But it is uncommon for a woman with six children, no husband, and no job to get fertility treatments. |
Do we know that she told him all of that? Even so, to refuse someone treatment (that you expect no more than one child to come out of it), could be considered unethical. |
Supposedly he is the one responsible for all her pregnancies, so he at least knows that she has six other children. I would assume that since she never went in a husband he knew she was a single mom too. |
He might have im[planted 6 before, with no multiples. |
Who knows? Octomom seems to be a pathological liar. This story keeps changing. |
A mother is a mother. Those things are all good, but a mother in different circumstances is not less of a person |
It is uncommon to put back 5-6 embryos in a woman under 35. Shady grove's average in women under 35 is 1.5 embryos per transfer. In a woman who has previous IVF success, they push incredibly hard for a single embryo transfer. You speak oif "less pressure on them to have good results". The pressure when it exists is primarily patient driven. When you pay $15,000 cash for a single shot at IVF you want the absolute best odds of it working. Perhaps this country needs to follow in the footsteps of England---where 1 embryo transfers are mandated but the government pays for IVF. Heck, if someone was paying for my IVF, I'd transfer embryos one at a time too! |
I agree with 13:37 in that I honestly believe that most RE's have an end goal of a healthy singleton pregnancy carried to term for all their patients. |
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww! You are such a gross person! Just think how unintentionally funny you come across with your panties in a major bunch over something that's a. not your business and b. has no discernable real life effect on you. You were writing hateful comments about a woman who may very likely be mentally ill. Do you make fun of all people with mental illnesses or just the ones unfortunate enough to have their folly captured on national teevee? I can understand people making sympathetic noises for the children but don't kid yourself -- your spouting hate filled invetive directed at the mother. Your sad little life must be truly empty for you to be able to spare so much wrath for a woman you don't even know. Why don't you go kick a three legged dog or engage in one of the other fun filled activities that help you get through your terrible existence? You're an open sore and a stain. |
I think in the end it will be my/our business because the kids will become wards of the state bc the grandparents will either give up or die and then the single mental lady won't be able to care for her babies. |
you seem to have a real dog in the fight. What's your deal? |
BTW, I hope they'll be dipping into your social security and medicare account to take care of the 14 kids + crazy mom for the duration of their lives. |
Well that didn't take long. California taxpayers are now going to pay for the hospital stay. What a great use of 3 million dollars! Shouldn't that be going to pay the salaries of state workers?
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29117041/ Plus although she denied being on welfare, she receives food stamps to the tune of $6 grand a year plus SSI on 3 other kids. Nothing like intentially having 8 more kids when you can't take care of the basic needs of the ones you have. This woman is sick. |
I understand why people are upset at having taxpayers foot this bill, but you are losing sight of the real point. This woman has 3 kids on disability and she just had 8 more? And one child is autistic. She can't possibly be tending to their current physical and emotional needs, much less when 8 more kids are in the house.
And she didn't tell her mother about the $160,000 she received, never contributed financially, and instead spent the money on plastic surgery and IVF. This is so so sad. She is clearly mentally ill. The Dr who did this is to her should be punished. This isn't about freedom or reproductive rights; it is about a Dr who treated a mentally ill person for profit, without regard for the consequences. |
well put |
