What kind of doctor would give a women with 6 kids already fertility drugs? Let alone place 8 more embryos inside her? Especially when the mother is quite young and still lives with her parents according to an article on MS NBC http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28927339?GT1=43001. This issue brings up many questions for me. The first thing that comes to my mind when I heard this is that the mother is either doing it for attention or government money. To be honest, I am not even sure that the federal or state government gives families money for having babies, but I would assume that this women would have to be on welfare or some other state or federal aid program in order to raise, now, 14 children! In this article, it states that doctors have no control on family sizes but they do try to prevent families from doing things like this. Basically, it seems to me, that the doctors feel helpless. Perhaps the doctors should not be to blame, but I do believe that a person will react to the actions of others. I think if the doctor would have tried harder, told her the risks, the expenses, how wrong this actually was, maybe this lady would have changed her mind. Fertility drugs are to be used for those people who are not able to conceive children. It sickens me to see someone who already has 6 children using these drugs, its selfish. There are so many people in the world who cannot have children and it is sad to see a woman like this basically take advantage of what she can do. Not only do I think it is wrong that she used the drugs, but in the long run it is only going to affect the children. Though she has 14 children, there is only one mother and one father. These parents will not be able to give their children the attention they need, which in the long run could cause bigger problems.
All in all, this was mistake now and will be a bigger mistake in the future. Whether this children did this for attention, money, or fame, I do not know, perhaps she did it because she just really loves going through the pain of having a child!

What's worse, the woman's mother has been talking to the press, explaining, "My daughter just loves babies!" What happens when her babies grow up? Ugh.
ReplyDeleteWhen I heard about that on the news, what went through my mind was "wow, that's a lot of kids to support". Even though she has so many kids, hopefully she'll be able to love them and give them the attention that they need. There's that other family out there with 18 children and counting. It seems they are handling it well.
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt that maybe should could care for these children, but I recently worked at a daycare and it was hard for me to give 8 kids enough attention in 4 hours without having another person help me!
