Octuplet mom has 6 other kids!

[Anonymous]

I am curious to see if the hospital will even discharge the octuplets to the mom. Mom has to show some plan for how she will care for them. If any of the babies go home on oxygen or monitors, she will need to bring in other family members for training and CPR, etc.

Then the hospital will probably wait until some social workers are assigned and able to assist. This whole thing is a sobbing shame.

There was one (minority view again) ethicist stating that pregnancy makes women too emotional to make an effective decision regarding selection reduction and doctors should be able to override her choice in the interest of the mother's health. This concept is absoluetly horrifying to me. The right of refusal for medical treatments based on your religion, moral beliefs or just plain choice is one of our most important freedoms.

Selective reduction wouldn't even be an issue if the clinic/doctor refused to implant more than 2 or 3 embryos. Unbelievable that anyone did that when she already has a proven track record of carrying multiple IVF pregnancies to term.

AND YET what business it is of ours to judge! Should we continue to allow Jolie & Pitt to adopt since they already have so many? P.[ /quote

Hmmm... Jolie/Pitt take the babies that others do NOT want or cannot care for. On top of that, they have the financial wherewithal to pay for their care on their own. They don't ask for social services to give them food stamps to feed the kids and additional funds for medical expenses.

Okay, so this woman is creepy, and she just cost the taxpayers, hospital, and insurance company a sh*tload of money, and will cost the parents who screwed her up a sh*tload of money.

Anyone know a totally unqualified, bizarre parent whose kids you feel sorry for? Anyone know people who have more kids than they can afford? This is just the freak show version of that.

But for those of you who are screaming that not treating a mother of six for "infertility" is akin to denying all parents of six the right to procreate, or "sterilizing" her, if you were an infertility doc would you counsel her to implant 6-8? If you wereher neighbor, would you make a bundt cake and invite her over to bond with you?

I think it is very irresponsible. some of us would love to have another baby, but can't afford the surgery even being working people that could provide for the child. She should not be allowed to keep any of them. She is an irresponsible woman who wanted publisity and for hand outs. She should get nothing even her own mom can't pay her bills why should the rest of us pay for someone that was only seeing what she could get from society. Don't give in. WE should not pay for her mistakes and that doctor should be put in place for helping her. Becareful Angelina she wants to be you. Sounds like the movie "The hand that rocked the cradle" Need I say more.

Companies need to help her with diapers and formula. She will need to do whatever she can, sell her story, do a reality show, have someone document thier life whatever it takes because right now its about the children, its about them having a decent life, what they need to grow and live.
I have heard about the state taking the children, I cant see this, the other children are not abused, not starved, and from the pictures of thier home certianly have clothes. I believe if the state takes them it will cost the state to take care of them, and I believe they would be put up for adoption maybe seperated maybe put in one foster home after another, this is not good.
Debate what should have been done is fine, but its done, there here, lets help the children.

Please spare me the bleeding heart crap! "Companies" had nothing to do with creating those babies so they do NOT "need" to help her with anything. Also, "we" do not need to make sure she gets what she needs for the babies. Nobody makes sure that my children get what they need except for me and the same should be true for Nadya. It is her responsibility - not the government's/taxpayers!!!!! If she can't take care of them then she deserves to lose them to someone who can. Please do not misunderstand, I have no problem helping people get back on their feet in a bad situation. However, I have a major problem paying for 8 new kids when she couldn't take care of the 6 she already had. This is not temporary either. How is she going to finish school with 14 small children to take care of? Even if she does manage to finish by using university daycare, who is going to pay for childcare when she finishes and goes to work? Does she have any idea how much this would cost? Even if her mother was willing, she can't possibly be expected to care for this number of children. Finally, living off of student loans is psychotic. She obviously has no clue and the government and her parents should force her to stand on her own 2 feet and get a serious reality check regarding her ability to financially provide for her children. I hope she does not get a single dime for interviews, reality shows, book deals, etc. Bad behavior/irresponsible choices should not pay off!!!
