14 Children and Financial Woes

The rage goes on as octuplet's mother tries to defend her decision of implanting six embryos after already conceiving six children prior. Not only is the public, including taxpayers, but her biggest two supporters, her mother and father, have went against. In a recent article posted by AOL news, the mother and grandmother of the babies got in a heated argument in relation to the welfare of the children. The mother's defense? " You either use them or destroy them. You either use them or destroy them. You either use them or destroy them." WRONG! First, she was nor in the right place nor the right time to have these newborn children. She already has 6 children all born after the year 2001. She must think about the welfare of her first six children before she tries to raise 8 more! Not only that but there are thousands of couples in the world that are infertile and are desperate to have these embryos. She made a mistake and worst of all she has no defense to back it up. She is not even giving these children or the public hope in success for her family.
As bad as the situation seems, there is evidence that these hospital officials who created the fiasco have some sense after all. In a Feb. 23 ABC News Report, Phil McGraw reported that Kaiser Permenante officials are now saying that the mother might have to prove she can handle the load before they can release the babies. There is no question about it, she MUST prove she is financially stable before she tries to take care of 14 children, attend college, and have no source of income. The blame is on the mother, not the children and not the taxpayers and there is no logical reason why anyone else should feel the woes of her failure except for her.
