I am completely fascinated by the ethical issues being discussed in the media since this lady gave birth. Such as:
*Who should have access to fertility treatments?
*Should people who have x number of kids already be prohibited from having them?
*Should people who have less than x amount of money be prohibited from having them?
*Where is the limit in terms of number of embryos implanted in fertility treatments?
*What is the physicians responsibility in terms deciding where that limit is?
Hmmm.

How about the physicians just having some fucking common sense?

True that, but who wants to practice common sense when there's a woman or couple waving $$ in your face? When a woman is willing to pay, common sense goes out the window.

I want to know what her thought process was once she knew she was having seven (the eighth was a surprise at delivery) babies. She knew she had six children already at home. She knew money was tight. She knew she didn't have a partner to share in the caretaking.
Did she worry about those things? Did she push them out of her mind? Did she optimistically think everything would work out despite all the odds? Did she hope some (most?) of the babies wouldn't make it? Did she think past the first few weeks - about the babies going to high school, college?

Next question then...how does a single mom, living at home with her already 6 kids with no visible means of income, get the $$ to get the fertility treatment to get MORE kids?
Not unless she asked Daddy for an allowance.

That is what I want to know! The meds to prepare for the procedure runs a few thousand...let alone the acutal costs of the labs, ultrasounds and actual procedure.
I know some folks donate unused meds back to the clinic once they are finished. Hmmmmm, wonder if she helped herself to the meds needed to stim for the transfer?

Her mom said she got "paid" for it. I don't know what that means, exactly. But maybe one of the benefits of working at a fertility clinic is free drugs and implantation?

Maybe but I doubt it because somewhere along the line those meds and money spent and made from them has to be accounted for.
